anyone with experience with this plz share.
Check papera.com. Several Forwards (FRRs).
Check alainjapan.com though their forte is canters and vans.
@prime
Yes the 8 year rule still applies. Trucks however do not incur excise duty so the duty is usually fair.
check the rules from
http://www.kra.go.ke/customs/faqcustoms2.html
Specifically
"Note: The vehicle must meet Kenya Bureau of Standards KS 1515:2000 – Code of Practice for Inspection of Road Vehicles.
The Standard spells out three major criteria for acceptance of vehicles of importation:
A. Age Limit
All road vehicles, which are more than eight years old from the year of manufacture, shall not be allowed for importation.
B. Left Hand Drive
All left hand drive vehicles are not allowed for registration unless they are for special purpose i.e. Ambulances, Fire Tenders and large construction vehicles imported for projects and to be eventually donated to the Kenyan Government.
C. Road Worthiness
All used vehicles imported into Kenya shall be inspected for Road Worthiness, safety and other requirements.
All imports of used motor vehicles including those belonging to returning residents, diplomats and or public servants must meet the above requirements.
