KRA to Enforce Digital Marine Cargo Insurance for Imports
KRA to block imports without digital insurance
The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) will require importers to have digital marine cargo insurance for their goods to be cleared through customs starting November 1.
Importers and their clearing agents must obtain a valid marine cargo insurance policy from an insurer licensed by the Insurance Regulatory Authority before their goods can be released from customs control.
The KRA and the Insurance Regulatory Authority are working together on the Digital MCI System, which will be used to process insurance certificates electronically before a customs declaration can be submitted.
