Yes. Compute the taxes and add the registration fee

You can not register a car that is more than 8 years old in Kenya. However Uganda does not have an age limit on imported cars. You will not pay duties to KRA, however you need to pay port and shipping line charges. The important thing for you is to get a very reliable clearing agent in Uganda.

As for the duty these will be payable to Uganda Revenue Authority and will be as follows:
Import Duty: 15% of dutiable value
VAT : 17% of VAT value
Import commission: 2% of Dutiable Value
Withholding Tax: 4% of Dutiable Value

I would also like to advise you that tradecarview is not a seller but a website that links buyers and sellers. therefore you should be very careful about the seller you are dealing with, as there have been cases of fraud and delayed shipping by some sellers on tradecarview.

This is done in mombasa after clearing esp. if the clearing agents are crooks and untrusted fellows.

If you can get a pointman the better ... i.e someone who resides in mombasa well known to you

ama tafuta good C & Forwarding agents ......

Also get to know the specs of your car in japan then as you give out the documents to the agent mwambie unaelewa kuna mambo kama hiyo ambayo inafanyika??

Watakuwa macho coz watajua umejua!!!!!

No, double-cabs are not included in this exemption. You pay the whole shebang...like private passenger cars.
A few years ago there was exemption on Double-Cabs until KRA decided to get 'smart'.

Thanks .... did they respond to you???

@Githundi ...... even if you deflate the CIF ..... KRA uses the CRSP to calculate duty and not CIF ..... They did this to outsmart scammers like you

So whether you import a car for free; pay the list CIF or the highest CIF .... KRA will get their dues without any loss

The CRSP for a passo 1000cc should be in the class of platz; duet ama vitz ....... if not 1000cc .... check engine number and fuel ..... disel ama petrol ..... then for a rough est. compare with another toyota van of same cc ....

i hope this helps ......


@ Njamba ....Rao are okay ..... deal with Ramu ..... and tell me how it goes ......

You cannot import a car registered in 2003 in 2011...no way around it (unless you know the man who took over from Kosgey).

As for the duty payment derived from CRSP or invoice i would like you to consider the following scenario:

You buy a 2004 Mitsubishi Pajero V73 (3000cc) average CIF price $16000 = kshs 1,280,000

Duty according to CRSP = 564,880

Duty according to CIF invoie:
1)25% import duty on CIF value : 1,280,000 x 25% = 320,000

2)20% Excise duty on CIF+import duty value = (1,280,000 + 320,000) x 20% = 320,000

3)16% VAT on CIF+import duty value+excise duty value = (1,280,000 + 320,000 + 320,000) x 16% = 307,200

Total duty according to CIF invoice will therefore be 307,200+320,000+320,000= 947,200

KRA will therefore take the value of duty that brings them the highest revenue and in this case it is the duty value calculated by the CIF invoice. So be smart about this issue when importing.
