@Adam, the trick is to know the rules, I have imported over 3 cars in the past year @Jayden also ensure if importing a vehicle in December ensure it does not arrive the next year, you will not be allowed to clear if its past the 7 year threshold Regards On Mon, Feb 24, 2014 at 10:20 AM, Calvin Omari <calvinebarongo@gmail.com>wrote:
Hi
I do car imports on behalf and for the little experience i have, if say you import a car manufactured/first registered 2007, March you will pay duty the same as a 2008 Manufactures/First Registered, I don't know why they use that matrix but the following site can give you duty estimates
What I usually do is delay Shipping to arrive at that particular month also note that some various ports in Mombasa have various clearance dates I know KENCONT For SBT has up to 21 days (Confirm with your clearing agent)
Any other Questions I will be glad to respond
Regards Calvin Omari

This is off topic so bear with me.
Quick question: How are the year and months for cars to be imported calculated? Currently, Kenya allows cars <= 7 years to be imported to Kenya.
Say we are currently in February 2014. Does it mean that I can only import cars registered after March 2007, or a car registered in January 2007 can also be imported? Will it be allowed at the port?
Please shed some light into this, regarding how a car's registration/manufactured month affects what cars can be imported to Kenya.
I'm all new to this :-)
Thank you in advance.
