Dear Customer(s),

This is for your information.

Kenya - New Clearance Requirement for Spare Parts

Customs have withdrawn Direct Assessment (F147) for all express (courier) import shipments containing spare parts with immediate effect.

All spare parts shipments will now have to go through a formal clearance process which includes applying and procuring an IDF (Import Declaration Form) followed by filing a formal customs entry to facilitate inspection & verification before final clearance.

Please expect delays in clearance due to this new development whilst all efforts are made by various Industry Associations to revert to normal  customs requirements.

Please keep all escalations to a minimum in the interim.

With Warm Regards,

Team, BMC
