Unit landed in Mid-December 2016, its NTSA who delayed registration by a few days because of the TIMS system and shortage of number plates. The online duty calculators are fairly accurate and the duty was almost as predicted. What was the agency fee and also driver's fee(If you used one)?

I got the Auction sheet of the vehicle before it was sold to SBT. Grade was 4, interior was B, mileage was same as indicated by SBT. The Auction sheets are free for a period of 3 months from the auction date.

Driver was 4k but in the spirit of Christmas, paid 5k. I wasn't so trusting so sent a co-driver from Nairobi just to make sure nothing is tampered with. CFS was Mitchell Cotts, of the free 21 days, i used about 11 days(thanks to NTSA and shortage of plates). Vehicles are very safe in the CFS, weakest point is when it has been cleared and roaming the streets of Mombasa, thats when you can be swindled by mechanics.

Rank: Elder Joined: 10/1/2009 Posts: 2,436		We have an 8-year rule, so am puzzled that when I go to the KRA online calc. to calculate how much duty I need to pay for a 2009/6 vehicle and it doesn't have the 2009 option - its from 2010 only. What am I missing, I thought 2009 cars are within the 8-yr rule?
