Small-scale traders who consolidate their imported cargo will now be able to clear the goods individually at the Nairobi Railway Station, eliminating the need to use costly clearing agents and the Sh100,000 container deposit.
The clearing process will be even easier for those with goods of Customs value of $10,000 who can make import declaration on a mobile app while those with goods of Customs value above $10,000 will clear through a registered clearing agent in the Customs system.
