What Kenya charges on a petrol / diesel (ice) and plug-in hybrid / erev

Assessed on: KRA values from its CRSP schedule (a published retail price list, depreciated for age) — NOT your FOB or CIF invoice. Treat the figure below as a shape check, then re-run it on the CRSP value for the exact model.

Charge Rate Calculated on
Import duty 25.0% CIF value
Excise duty (BEV / hybrid) 10.0% CIF plus duty
Excise duty (petrol / diesel) 20.0–35.0% CIF plus duty
VAT 16.0% CIF plus duty and levies
Import Declaration Fee (IDF) 3.5% CIF value
Railway Development Levy (RDL) 2.0% CIF value
The 10% excise row for electric and hybrid vehicles is the single biggest lever in Kenya — it replaces a petrol band that can reach 35%.
Before you quote: Kenya is the market where a CIF-based estimate misleads most often, because KRA assesses on CRSP. If the CRSP value for your model is higher than your CIF, every line above scales up with it.

About the Changan UNI-K

The UNI-K is Changan's largest mainstream SUV — 4,865 mm on a 2,890 mm wheelbase, powered by a 171 kW 2.0-litre turbo producing 390 Nm through an Aisin eight-speed automatic, with front-wheel drive standard and four-wheel drive offered. The iDD plug-in hybrid pairs a 125 kW 1.5-litre turbo with an 85 kW motor and a 30.74 kWh battery for 130 km of NEDC electric range and a quoted 1,100 km combined. Changan does not publish a combined system output for the iDD, so we do not quote one.
