@VJ
thanks for the insight
i am a ugandan, i want to purchase a vehicle through trade car view(nissan selana) , it cost USD 1790 CIF ex mombasa. year of manufacture 1997.
furnish me with tax duties i will have to pay KRA for clearance.


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.
Before you can be be old and wise, you must first be young and stupid.

@ Wazuans, I have come across cases where the car has parts(eg tires, radio, power window) changed or totally removed from the car by the time it is delivered to the owner.
Where & how does this happen?
Whats the way to deal with the crooks?

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??

All passenger cars charged Import duty, Excise duty and VAT. Yes, B15 included. Its only pick-ups and lorries that dont have Excise duty but still are charged import duty and VAT.


Are the double-cab pick-ups also included in this exemption?

Can someone please respond to Elders question above.

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'.

Thanx Mws I will contact him asap.

I still can’t get any quality info on Duty and tax since the URA website has been suspended (hope not for long).

There seems also to be conflicting info on JIVEC inspection, it seems like the UG gov’t abolished it but I am not sure. Could anyone confirm this?

Is there any fee charged on cars older than 8yrs?

any recommendable clearing agent?

thank you.
