I think to make it clear... What is meant by Amazon now shipping to Kenya is that items are shipped by Amazon Global straight to your residential address, and they take care of customs and any import fees. You are also eligible for returns and refunds. Previously, you could ship stuff but you had to go clear them yourself or pick them at your post office. I have no idea how they calculate taxes but it's all included in whatever you pay on checkout. Also note that not all items are eligible. When you make your search request, there is a filter to see only those that ship to Kenya. I've attached an order I made a few months or so ago. (You can see the items were shipped on 15th and I got them *3 days *later) I've been using this service *since June* this year year, brought in over 50 items, all got here without a hitch.

John, Let us know how this will end especially delivery time, tax and other costs if any.

Seems, creating a new address has worked. My previous Nairobi address, was failing, creating a new one has worked.
Import Fees Deposit: $17. Anyone know how the $17 import fee is calculated?

Cool! I hadn't verified the claims about the Kindle no longer shipping to Kenya. Looks like there's nothing to worry, then.
