Import duty
KRA lists 2 Tata Lpt variants, valued between KSh 2,541,304 and KSh 5,077,718 new. Duty is calculated from those figures, not from what you paid.
KSh 390,131 – KSh 779,511
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LPT 809/38 CBC CKD | 3784 · diesel | KSh 2,541,304 | KSh 390,131 |
| LPT 1518 CAB / CHASSIS | 5883 · diesel | KSh 5,077,718 | KSh 779,511 |
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.
