The government has waived fees charged for every bill of lading to all Lamu Port users and introduced promotional tariffs to woo traders to the new facility.

All importers will be exempted from paying Sh1,000 for every bill of lading, a charge which has been one of the trade barriers for years and a major hindrance to large scale cargo importation.
