Import duty
KRA lists 3 Suzuki Lapin variants, valued between KSh 2,157,934 and KSh 2,720,472 new. Duty is calculated from those figures, not from what you paid.
KSh 297,159 – KSh 374,624
Depending on trim, for a direct import. A unit already registered in Kenya pays less — it depreciates faster on KRA’s schedule and owes neither the Railway Development Levy nor the Import Declaration Fee.
| Trim | Engine | CRSP | Duty at 8yr |
|---|---|---|---|
| LAPIN X | 658 · gasoline | KSh 2,157,934 | KSh 297,159 |
| LAPIN LC X | 658 · gasoline | KSh 2,591,365 | KSh 356,845 |
| LAPIN LC | 658 · gasoline | KSh 2,720,472 | KSh 374,624 |
Kenya does not permit importing vehicles over eight years old. Figures cover duty and taxes only — port charges, SGR, verification and NTSA registration are additional. KRA describes its own template as a guideline subject to verification.
