Frequently asked · this vehicle, this destination

Can a Daihatsu Hijet legally be imported to Kenya?

Kenya holds a strict 8-year-from-manufacture cap on used-vehicle imports. This vehicle does not qualify for standard entry under the current rule. Verdict for the typical age modelled on this page: past kenya 8-year age cap.

Typical all-in landed cost for the modelled hammer price is around $11,769. Every line is itemized above — vehicle, freight, duty, tax, clearance, and the WATTSHIP transaction fee. Real outcomes shift with hammer price, sub-class, and excise bracket.

How long does shipping a Daihatsu Hijet from Japan to Kenya take?

Ocean transit runs week 5–8 on the typical lane, and week 2–4 for port + compliance work at destination. Add 1–2 weeks for inland transit to Yokohama or Kobe before vessel loading.

What duties and taxes apply when importing a Daihatsu Hijet to Kenya?

Kenya applies its standard import duty and consumption tax (VAT/GST/equivalent) on the CIF base, plus any country-specific excise. The exact rate band depends on the vehicle's HS code, age, and fuel type — the breakdown above uses the conservative published rate.

What paperwork is needed to import a Daihatsu Hijet?

Standard package: original Japanese export certificate (deregistration), bill of lading, commercial invoice, and any country-specific compliance documents (e.g. SEVS letter for Australia, RIV form for Canada, IVA application for the UK). The WATTSHIP transaction fee covers the document trail on managed deals.
