Kenya KE

1 claim
  • VerifiedKE-RG-C1

    Kenya, as an EAC Customs Union member, applies the EAC Common External Tariff (2022 version), under which automatic data-processing machines and units (HS 8471 - including servers and processing units) enter at 0% duty - the same EAC-wide anchor claimed for Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda.

    Reuses the T1 EAC CET instrument text captured from TRA (EAC-wide instrument; KRA is the implementing authority in Kenya). Customs-union membership is uncontroversial; section-level KE import-procedure detail is an upgrade path.
