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
Details

The 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
Details

VAT 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.
