Hi,

So sometimes I order clothes, books, etc. from Amazon, Ebay or Chinese websites.

For Kenya, what are the duty tariffs on these goods?
Is there a certain amount up to which the goods are exempt from taxes?
What is this amount?

I didn't find anything in Google (except for used car imports).

Thank you.

Hi Karen,

Do you know the answers to my questions?

Have you ever bought something on the internet and had it shipped to Kenya?
