Does KSh3.2M mean every consolidated container is worth KSh3.2M? No.

It is not a new tax.

So what actually determines the value?

KRA Board Chairman explains:

* What the benchmark means
* How consolidated cargo works
* When traders can choose deconsolidation and verification
* Why the actual goods and documents matter
* How the final taxes are determined

In collaboration with the National Treasury, we have successfully implemented the integration of eTIMS with IFMIS, marking an important milestone in improving transparency, accountability and efficiency in Government transactions.

Suppliers doing business with Government entities are required to generate valid eTIMS invoices before submitting them for payment through IFMIS, ensure invoice details match those recorded in eTIMS, and keep their tax records and compliance status up to date.

The integration will also support automated validation of tax invoices and more seamless financial processes across Government entities.

For support on eTIMS onboarding, invoice generation or related enquiries, contact our Contact Centre via 020 4 999 999 / 0711 099 999 or [email protected].

Understanding the new Consolidated Cargo benchmark: What importers need to know.

Consolidated cargo allows multiple traders to combine their shipments in one container, helping reduce logistics costs and making international trade more accessible.

To strengthen customs valuation, improve fairness, and address challenges such as undervaluation, under-declaration, misclassification and misdescription of goods, KRA has revised the Customs Minimum Benchmark for general containerised consolidated cargo from KSh 2.5 million to KSh 3.2 million, effective 20th August 2026.

The KSh 3.2 million benchmark is not a fixed tax, charge, or automatic value assigned to every container. It serves as a minimum reference point under the simplified clearance arrangement. The actual customs value and applicable taxes will continue to depend on the nature, value, and classification of the goods declared.

Importers are encouraged to:
* Declare goods accurately
* Provide correct supporting documentation
* Ensure proper classification of goods
* Pay the correct taxes due

A fair trading environment starts with accurate declarations. By working together, we support compliant businesses, protect revenue, and promote a level playing field for all traders.

PRESS STATEMENT: CLARIFICATION ON CONCERNS RAISED BY SMALL SCALE TRADERS ON CONSOLIDATION CARGO

1. Cargo consolidation remains an important and supported option for small-scale traders.

2. The minimum yield is a risk-management reference under the simplified clearance arrangement — it is not the actual tax liability for every container.

3. Traders can opt out of the simplified arrangement and request verification, with taxes determined from the actual goods, value and classification.

4. Traders may also de-consolidate and make individual declarations based on their respective goods.

5. KRA has engaged industry stakeholders and remains committed to facilitating legitimate trade while ensuring a fair business environment.
