Import duty
KRA lists 3 Volkswagen Up! variants, valued between KSh 1,348,262 and KSh 2,234,462 new. Duty is calculated from those figures, not from what you paid.
KSh 185,663 – KSh 307,698
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| UP! MOVE UP! | 1000 · gasoline | KSh 1,348,262 | KSh 185,663 |
| UP! UP! GTI | 1000 · gasoline | KSh 2,181,058 | KSh 300,343 |
| UP! SPICE UP! | 1000 · gasoline | KSh 2,234,462 | KSh 307,698 |
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.
