Import duty
KRA lists 2 Volkswagen California variants, valued between KSh 20,371,482 and KSh 21,724,740 new. Duty is calculated from those figures, not from what you paid.
KSh 2,921,213 – KSh 3,115,267
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CALIFORNIA BEACH | 2000 · diesel | KSh 20,371,482 | KSh 2,921,213 |
| CALIFORNIA | 2000 · diesel | KSh 21,724,740 | KSh 3,115,267 |
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.
