Import duties and taxes
All duties and taxes collected when importing these goods, for an origin outside the EAC. Flat amounts depend on the weight or the number of containers.
| Duty or tax | Rate | Base | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
DD
Import duty (EAC CET)
Indicative
Exempt for EAC origin
DetailsThe applicable rate depends on which EAC CET band the tariff line falls into (0%, 10%, 25% or 35%). There is no single rate: see the simulator and the detailed tariff by HS code. |
0% | Customs value | Indicative |
VAT
Value added tax (national)
Indicative
DetailsVAT is a national tax, not an EAC-wide levy: its rate varies by the member state where the import is cleared (for example 16% in Kenya, 18% in Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda, as of publication). No single rate is applied here: verify the current rate with the relevant national revenue authority before relying on any estimate. |
