Country Guide

Import Japanese Cars to Kenya

Kenya imports the majority of East African used Japanese vehicles through Mombasa Port. VLLDOIT prepares all export documentation and coordinates KEBS-compliant inspection to ensure smooth clearance for dealers and private buyers.

Import Age Limit

Kenya enforces an 8-year age limit — the vehicle must be no more than 8 years old from the year of first registration at the time of import.

Eligible Vehicles

Right-hand-drive Japanese vehicles are required and standard. KEBS (Kenya Bureau of Standards) pre-export verification is mandatory for most used vehicle imports. Popular categories include Toyota Hilux, RAV4, Probox, and Nissan X-Trail for both private and commercial use.

What is the age limit for importing cars to Kenya?

All commercial used vehicle imports arrive at Mombasa Port on Kenya's Indian Ocean coast. Inland delivery to Nairobi and other cities is arranged locally after customs clearance.
