Make sure you don't find yourself "inside the box/cell" as you think outside the box!

You can pay at any branch of co-operative bank or national bank, or make a bankers cheque in favour of commissioner of customs (my preferred method) and give it to your clearing agent.

I'm not sure of the account numbers, your clearing agent should help you with that.

@ VJ
Any experience withRoyal Trading?
Their prices seem very good.
Thanks.

Depends on what you are looking for. I didn't see good stuff on the site.

Importing a used car is an easy do-it-yourself process. From the comfort of your office seat, you can buy a car straight from Japan and have it delivered to your parking lot. The process takes 30-45 days. Below is a step by step guide.

...

Mandatory clearance fees
Import Declaration Fee: This is normally 2.25% of CIF value with a minimum of Kshs 5,000, this is the first payment made in the process of clearing. It normally takes a few days to process.

....
The links to the CRSP list is:
http://www.kra.go.ke/not.../SEPTEMBER_CRSP2010.xls
the CRSP value and age of the car should be entered into the valuation template whose link is:
http://www.kra.go.ke/cus...%20Motor%20Vehicles.xls

Once the dutiable/customs value is arrived at the duty is worked out as follows:
1.Import duty: is 25% of dutiable/customs value.
2.Excise Duty: 20% of dutiable/customs value + import duty.
3.VAT: 16% of dutiable/customs value + import duty + excise duty
In addition. The duty is also quoted inclusive registration, normally Ksh12,000 for a usual passenger car.

.....

Just taken a section(s) of original post. How do I go about IDF? My van is arriving today!!!

You needed to have applied for IDF immediately you received the documents, but not to worry. Talk to your clearing agent and send him an electronic copy of your documents, namely the invoice, inspection certificate, PIN number and ID copy. He can apply for IDF over the weekend and then you pay first thing Monday. Then begin your clearing process
Before you can be be old and wise, you must first be young and stupid.

If you have a KEBS approved inspection report from Japan I.e JEVIC, QISJ then you don't need any other inspection
