HOW TO IMPORT GOODS IN KENYA


The most effective method to import any goods to Kenya from
anywhere in the world.
Bringing goods into the country can be chaotic stressful and burdening,
particularly for the individuals who do not have an unmistakable knowledge
of the required documentation and process.


Here is the framework to lawfully bring goods into Kenya.
-Get an import grant/ permit to the sorts of merchandise goods you expect you import.
-The primary reason/activity is to guarantee that all merchandise to
be imported satisfy Kenyan guidelines as recommended by KEBS.





Once you have the above you send data/ information to your supplier with
-The Products  description
-The quantity specification-Amount/price
-Delivery/Conveyance period
-Administrative prerequisites / Regulatory requirements

You will need then to
-Affirm that the products are not restricted in the country.
-Check to ensure that the products don't draw anti-dumping duties.
-Decide the expense, financing, and get advice from your bank.
-Finalize with your supplier and make payments.

At this point ia when you can decide to involve a freight company or decide to run all

the logistics on your own.

But  before the products get into the nation you should:





-Obtain the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of conformity
-Select a clearing specialist/agent who will process the customs duty, port charges,
and get the relevant certificates.

When the  goods arrive you are required to do the following
-Process the goods through customs
    -Obtain a release order
      -Authenticate compliance certificates

      You will still be required to Pay port charges, gather your goods
      and transport to your destination.
