As it moves to ban low-end feature phones and older-generation smartphones in its new Type-C charging mandate, the government has exempted phone and tablet shipments already at sea, at the Mombasa port and in the domestic market.

The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) said the new law covers vendors, manufacturers and buyers who were seeking approval to bring in devices from March 24, when the ban was announced and effected.
