🚢 How to Import a Car from Japan to Kenya (2025 Step-by-Step Guide)

Importing a car from Japan can save you money and give you access to clean, low-mileage vehicles. But the process can be confusing without the right guidance. Here's a complete guide by John Njiraini of Connect Kenya Cars to help you import your dream car safely and legally in 2025.

✅ Step 1: Choose Your Car

Decide what model, year, and features you want. Popular choices include Toyota Fielder, Honda Fit, Subaru Impreza, and Nissan Note. We help you find the best deals directly from Japanese auctions.

✅ Step 2: Confirm Auction Sheet & Mileage

Always check the auction sheet to confirm the car's condition, mileage, and accident history. We only deal in Grade 4 and above cars with genuine mileage.

✅ Step 3: Pay CIF (Cost + Insurance + Freight)

Once you choose your car, pay the CIF price. This covers purchase, insurance, and shipping to Mombasa Port. We give you a full breakdown before you commit.

✅ Step 4: Shipping & Arrival

Shipping usually takes 21–30 days. You’ll receive all documents in advance: Bill of Lading, Export Certificate, and translated auction sheet.

✅ Step 5: KRA Duty & Clearance

When the car arrives in Mombasa, KRA calculates taxes based on make, year, and engine size. We help you with:

  • KRA Import Duty
  • Excise Duty
  • VAT
  • IDF, RDL, and Inspection

✅ Step 6: NTSA Registration & Number Plate

After clearing with KRA, we help you register the car on NTSA TIMS and get your KC/number plate. You’ll also receive the logbook within 5–10 days.

✅ Step 7: Pickup or Delivery

You can collect the car in Mombasa, or we deliver it to Nairobi, Kisumu, Eldoret, or any town in Kenya — safely and legally.
