It is "supposed" to be on new items worth more that $500. This is Kenya, meaning they will make it up as they go along. New / old what it is worth decides upon how much the customs officer wants to try and shake you down. Someone has took the new gazzette to court and it is supposed to be suspended. We shall see.

Posts: 499To be more specific, tax for objects entry above 500 USD value is a proposal, not yet active I think.
Other increase in txes for parcs and reserve are already decided, starting for Jan 1st I guess.
All this shows their will to fin the money evrywhere and may be specifically from tourists!
And yes, soon we could see some taxes added to ourr business, for sure.

Posts: 98Kenya Nonsense never ceases to amaze
Asante sana to all Brothers for warning about new active custom duty extortion.
I'm going to have to play this carefully with their antics. I got a second laptop for work, but of course will lie and say it's my own. Don't know if this will work, but I'll find the same model for each on Ebay, print the pages showing sales price (Used, of course; and closer to $200-250), and claim that's the value of each. "This is Kenya" so such nonsense may actually work. Karibu Kenya!
I have gifts already wrapped. They're clothes from my sis to KE friends. No way even collectively they value 500 USD. I'll be honest with this one and describe that; if they want to see inside I'll slit one opening just to prove, then retape it later.
All else is easily individually under $100.

Tax at entry for cameras and other material above 500 $ value. So means full search in luggages also.
Increase entry fees to all wild animals areas, same for night tax when in these parcs.
There is abig search for money from Kenya government actually.

Notwithstanding the fact that you can buy them IN Kenya. The customs will impound it. Also. Don't bring iPhones or similar as gifts. Everything with customs value over 500 $ will incur customs duty.
Karibu Kenya.

Lunatics.
By the way the officers at JKIA are searching bags upon arrival and taxing people with 2 phones or extra laptop / tablsts. Even a KQ Captain got hit.
They are struggling with loan debt, trying to get cash any way they can.

Posts: 334More Fees. Tourist Visa for 100 $
Kenia wants to increase different visa fees.
The normal Tourist Visa will cost 100 $, instead of 50 $.
What is so Special about them, that they want to charge Double of what others are charging?

Nairobi - 9th Floor?
Kisumu.
Eldoret - 2nd floor. The most friendly.
Mombasa.
Nakuru.
Kisii.
Embu.
Garissa.
Not on the List:
Malindi. Ground floor.
Bungoma. Ground floor. I'm told this is where those to be deported are sent. The woman is an awful human being.
