Ruto Directive Reshapes KRA Clearance of Imported Used Cars via NTSA

The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has updated the clearance process for imported vehicles, allowing licensed motor dealers to transfer second-hand cars directly to their showrooms after paying customs charges, while deferring formal registration until a final buyer is found.The operational shift follows an executive directive issued by President William Ruto through the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA), detailed in an internal circular from KRA’s Customs and Border Control Department.
