Knowledge is Your Best Asset at the Port
Importing a car can be a financial nightmare if you aren't prepared for the KRA tax assessment. Understanding the process is the first step toward a smooth, demurrage-free handover.
Step 1: Accurate Pre-Import Costing
Always check the Current Retail Selling Price (CRSP) database before you buy abroad. KRA calculates duties based on this value, not your purchase price. Our valuation team can help you run these numbers early so there are no surprises at the Port of Mombasa.
Step 2: Triggering Fast Duty Finance
Port demurrage (storage fees) is the "silent killer" of import profits. Our 100% Import Duty Finance is designed for "Swiftness." It triggers the moment KRA issues the bill, ensuring payment is made within hours so your car is released during the free storage period.
Step 3: Document Readiness
Ensure your Bill of Lading, Export Certificate, and Invoice are all verified by your clearing agent at least 14 days before the ship arrives. Having your logbook security valued early with us ensures the funds are ready the moment they are needed.
