Your Car has Docked. Now What?
The moment your vehicle touches the Port of Mombasa, the clock starts ticking. Navigating the clearance process requires coordination between multiple agencies. Here is how to handle it like a pro.
The Step-by-Step Process:
- Manifest Verification: The shipping line submits the cargo manifest to KRA.
- KRA Entry Filing: Your clearing agent submits an entry through the iCMS system.
- Assessment and Payment: KRA issues an assessment notice. This is the moment you trigger our Duty Financing if you're short on cash!
- Inspection: Agencies like KEBS verify that the vehicle meets the age and mechanical standards.
- Release: Once all taxes and port charges are paid, KRA issues a release order.
The Delay Factor
Delays usually happen during step 3. Importers wait for funds, while storage fees mount. Our 100% financing ensures step 3 is completed within hours of assessment, keeping your clearance on track and your car out of the storage yard.
