To the best of my knowledge KRA doesn't care where the items were
bought they use the same rate card based on a system called HS Code
(Harmonized System). As a general and very rough guideline.

Books, Software and Mobile fones - Duty Free
Everything else anywhere from 15% -  45% depending on the item.

Sorry can't be of much help than this but it depends on the items.
