I am interested in electronics, communication equipment like phones and other network gadgets, computers and lighting equipments (lanterns, lamps , and bulbs) and other hardware things like locks, taps etc) is there any one know or several source with latest information one can access this details. Please help

I do think, KRA/Govt printer has. I imported bulbs and was charged 25% + 16% by Posta - they have this huge book with every item category under the sun. Kind Regards, Wilson./
Certain items don't accrue the 25% charge, usually 'digital' equipment, whatever that means to them. In general if you want to save some change, just say the device(s) are 'used' to connect to the internet. On 31 October 2014 11:19, Thuo Wilson via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:
