Transparent & Systematic

The Clearance Process

01

Document Intake

We review your commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airway bill, and any certificates before your cargo arrives.

02

IDF Lodgement

Your Import Declaration Form is lodged through the KenTrade single window.

03

Customs Entry

Your customs declaration is lodged in KRA iCMS with the correct HS classification.

04

Assessment & Payment

Duties and levies are assessed and paid on your behalf, with receipts shared as they are issued.

05

Verification

Where your cargo is flagged, we liaise with KRA to move it through scanning or physical inspection.

06

Release & Delivery

Your release order is issued, cargo gates out, and we coordinate onward delivery.

Statutory Charges

Duties, Levies & Taxes

Import duty, excise where applicable, VAT, the Import Declaration Fee, and the Railway Development Levy are set by the Kenya Revenue Authority, not by us. We calculate them transparently and pass them through at the statutory rate.

Our Fee

Agency Fees & Disbursements

Our agency fee is quoted per shipment based on complexity: NEEDS CONFIRMATION: agency fee schedule. Disbursements such as port storage, shipping line charges, and demurrage are passed through at cost, with receipts.

Why It Matters

Why a Licensed Agent Matters

policy

Correct Classification

Accurate HS classification avoids penalties and prevents you from overpaying duty you were never liable for.

verified

Licensed to Lodge

Customs entries must be lodged in iCMS by an agent licensed by KRA. We are that agent.

schedule

Fewer Costly Delays

Document errors are the most common cause of storage and demurrage charges that end up costing more than the agency fee itself.

New requirement from 1 September 2026

Under the Finance Act 2026, importers must obtain and retain an export declaration from the country of export. KRA may reject declarations or reassess taxes where this document is missing. We collect and file export declarations as part of our standard document intake. Read the full update.
