How the calculation works
-
01
The customs value is the CIF value: goods, freight and insurance up to the port of entry, converted into US dollars.
-
02
The customs duty follows the EAC CET 2022 rate of the tariff line: 0, 10, 25 or 35%, or the higher rate of a sensitive item (Schedule 2).
-
03
Goods of EAC origin, with a certificate of origin, enter any partner state free of customs duty.
-
04
VAT, excise and other domestic levies are set by each partner state and are not added to this estimate.
