hope you are now sorted

VJ,
Thanks. Long live wazua.

Excuse me if this has been discussed elsewhere but I have the following questions about the clearing process:

a) Once your vehicle is on its way and you have received the necessary documents, are there things you should be doing in the meantime (before the car arrives) to expedite the clearing process?

b) If the unit is set to arrive at the port on a Saturday, is it possible to have it cleared then (on a weekend)?

c) How long does the entire clearing process typically take anyway? Is it realistic to expect to complete it on the same day - assuming all documentation is in order and all the necessary monies are ready?

d) Is a log book one of the documents you should receive from your Japan vendor or is this something KRA will give you? (I expected to receive this along with the rest of the documents but it did not happen!)

e) Lastly, is there really any point doing a major service on the vehicle before driving off or is a minor service just good enough?

Sharing your experience on these and any other related questions will be, as usual, highly appreciated.

Very well answered, @jimmy1. Thank you.

Kidogo disagree unless u r buying from a bad seller normally the oil filter, aircleaner, engine oil, plugs that comes with most Japanese cars are original stuff that u cant even get at Toyota Kenya and most are still usable for anothe 10000kms the best thing is to check each and replace whichever requires replacement.
