Short answer: the landed cost of a used Toyota in Kenya is the FOB price plus freight, plus Kenyan import duty and excise, plus VAT, plus clearing and port charges. We quote the vehicle at a real FOB price so the invoice reflects the true value customs will assess.
The four cost blocks
- 1. Vehicle (FOB China): the specific unit price, quoted per car.
- 2. Freight: container or RoRo to Mombasa, per unit or consolidated.
- 3. Duty and taxes: Kenya applies import duty and VAT, with a reduced excise rate for electric vehicles.
- 4. Clearing: port handling, agent fees and transport to your location.
Why the declared value matters
Kenya's customs assess duty on the declared value, so the FOB price on the invoice should reflect the real vehicle. Understating it can trigger valuation queries and delays; we quote the true unit price so the paperwork is consistent.
How we help you estimate
We supply the unit specification, photos and inspection summary, quote FOB and a freight estimate, and can advise on consolidation to reduce freight per car. Your clearing agent then adds the local duty, VAT and handling for a full landed-cost figure.
