The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has relaxed a new rule that requires all imports to be accompanied by a Certificate of Origin (COO), exempting some items from the regulations that take effect on October 1, 2025.
The taxman has also opened a window in which alternative clearance documents would be accepted in exceptional cases where a COO is not available. A COO is a critical export document that verifies the country where goods were grown, manufactured, or produced.
