Importing a car from Japan to Kenya: common questions

How much does it cost to import a car from Japan to Kenya?
We quote the landed (CIF) cost at Kenya: the car's FOB price in Japan, ocean freight to the port, marine insurance (1.5% of the FOB price, at least $45), in one figure. Ask for any car's price on WhatsApp and we send it. Import duty, taxes and port charges in Kenya are not included: Kenya's customs authority sets them, and your clearing agent pays them at the port.
How long does shipping from Japan to Kenya take?
About 30 days at sea from Japan to Mombasa (25 to 37 days, depending on the vessel and the sailing). Allow one to three weeks before departure for inspection and booking space on a vessel.
Is there an age limit on cars imported to Kenya?
Yes. Kenya allows cars up to 8 years old, so 2018 models and newer. This page lists only cars that meet the limit, and a car's own page warns you when it is too old for Kenya.
Do cars for Kenya need a pre-shipment inspection?
Not for cars landed at Mombasa, so there is no inspection fee in the landed price.
