Steps

  1. Open the InfoTrade Kenya portal at infotradekenya.go.ke. It is KenTrade's free step-by-step guide to importing and exporting.
  2. Find your product and choose import, export or transit to see all the compliance requirements.
  3. Read each step: the documents you need, the costs, the relevant laws and how long each step takes.
  4. When you are ready, do the actual applications on KenTrade's single window (TradeNet). InfoTrade gives the information; TradeNet handles the documents.

Watch out

  • InfoTrade only tells you what is required. You still lodge declarations and permits on the KenTrade single window.
  • The information comes from the government agencies themselves, so it is safer to rely on than agents' summaries.

Who can apply

  • Anyone: current and would-be traders and other stakeholders.
