importation documents bears the name of a local dealer or the Japan merchant

Once you make 100% payment the seller will inform the shipping line to change the consignee details to your names, then the bill of lading & other import documents will be sent to you via DHL or if the seller has an agent in kenya you will be emailed details on how to go and collect the bill of lading at their local branch, usually in mombasa. You can opt to forward the email to your clearing agent, they print it & collect the import documents on your behalf

@seppuku, relax, your clearing agent will handle that


Sure they will, but I'll be the one paying so I need to know what to budget for...

It has been said here on this thread that KRA will base their tax calculation on either the CIF or the show room value of a vehicle depreciated for age - whichever is higher. Is this still true? I am importing a unit whose CIF exceeds the calculated customs value based on the KRA's work sheets. Does this mean I will pay more in taxes? Just for the avoidance of doubt...


It still works the same way, you pay based on whichever yields the higher tax value.

Think smart and you'll pay by the crsp list.

Jameni! Sasa ukweli ni upi? @Vj, the car is already paid for. What smart thinking are you talking about? Kindly educate a brother.

@Jimmy: He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.

Seppuku put your e.mail address so i can brief you on what to do. Or you can ask @livie on how its done, he has learnt from experience.

VJ, kindly assist with the wise/smart move. Been seeing cool deals but the CIF factor always takes the juice out of it.

I was not very good at masomo back in school, and I have been trying to figure out what smart way I could use lakini my head is aching now.

the only way I have come up with is to bargain hard for a crazy discount, or buy it on hire purchase
