In Feb this year, I ordered for some PCi FXO ports from China. And the good man there wrote on their declaration form that they were network cards totaling to around $35. <hindsight> I think he had worked with Kenyans before as I did not tell him how to avoid taxes </hindsight> Essentially I only paid the invoice price + shipping, *no IDF*, *no* *TAX* The supplier I have identified has put up an addendum to his ordering page essentially asking, if there is a way that I can avoid tax I include the request upon confirmation of payment. Being the good citizen that I think I am, I am wondering whether the same will apply, as the prior order was computer parts and this order is a tablet which can be regarded as a computer or a phone depending at the individual at customs. Anyway will take the plunge and let you guys know what happens. Thanks for all the advice. On Mon, Dec 3, 2012 at 10:07 AM, TheBigBoss <thebigboss@peperuka.com> wrote:
25% import duty + 16% VAT
eg. if valued at 10 000 kshs, you will be be asked to pay: 2500 kshs for import duty + 16% of (10,000 + 2,500 kshs) = 2,500 + 2,000 kshs = 4,500 ksh

This is good. I'd like to hear from someone who has actually done it. I've realized from this thread that it depends on your negotiation skills :) any input from someone who has brought in a laptop from ebay? and better still is there someone who can do it for me and give me expected costs?

If you use a company like DHL, are there any taxes like the ones Posta levies?
Absolutely. DHL normally work closely with a KRA clearing agent to ensure that all taxes/dutie/levies due are paid. I frequently use DHL.
