Quality check requirements at origin for Kenya
As per current law on importation of all cargo into Kenya, requires all used cars undergo quality inspection checks through an appointed agency whose contract with the Kenya government “standards” ministry, facilitates issuance of a road-worthiness certificate – QISJ
By law, Kenya drives on left hand side of the road, so all vehicles are Right Hand-driven. The standard age on import requirement for motor vehicles is eight (8) years from the date of first registration. Furthermore, the time between the date of first registration and the year of manufacture MUST not exceed 12 months.
Apart from verifying your car’s road-worthiness, the companies will verify that no tampering or modifications were made on your car’s odometer. Detection of a discrepancy between regulatory and the supporting documents and the reading of the odometer during the inspection will lead to failure. A Non-Conformity Report (NCR) will be issued and the vehicle will not be allowed to enter Kenya.
We include this cost as an all-inclusive price with freight delivered to Mombasa port – CIF.
The following are the modes of payment we accepts:
1) Transfer to our Barclays Bank UK account indicated on invoices. (Please note that we officially communicate any bank details changes to our customers to mitigate against fraud).
2) Bank guarantee, direct deposit/cheques (issued by UK banks ONLY).
