Question 1

Can I import a Toyota Corolla Axio to Kenya?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kenya accepts right-hand drive vehicles up to 8 years old, based on the year of first registration. From 1 January 2026, only vehicles first registered after 1 January 2019 are accepted. A KEBS Certificate of Roadworthiness (issued by QISJ in Japan) is required before shipment. CarHappy helps you choose a compliant Toyota Corolla Axio from Japan and handles export to Mombasa.

Question 2

How much does it cost to import a Toyota Corolla Axio to Kenya?

Accepted Answer

The landed cost is the CIF value (car price + ocean freight to Mombasa + insurance) plus Kenya import taxes. Kenya import taxes are calculated on CIF value: Import Duty 25% + Excise Duty 25%–40% (by engine size) + VAT 16% + IDF 3.5% + RDL 1.5% — together roughly 70%+ of CIF. KRA values the car using its CRSP table, not the purchase price.

Accepted Answer

About 4–6 weeks ocean shipping from Japan to Mombasa, plus local KRA/KEBS clearance before delivery.
