What Kenya charges on a petrol / diesel (ice)

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 (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

What this powertrain avoids

Kenya applies these charges to other powertrains, but not to a petrol / diesel (ice):

  • · Excise duty (BEV / hybrid) — 10.0% on CIF plus duty
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.
