# Kenya Revenue Authority (Customs Compliance)

*Last updated: 2026-06-25*

> The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is Kenya's statutory body for tax and customs administration.

The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is Kenya's statutory body for tax and customs administration. It collects import duties, value added tax, excise duties, and other levies, and is responsible for border enforcement and the clearance of all cross-border shipments. Importers, exporters, and licensed customs agents work with the KRA on every consignment—from lodging declarations and cargo valuation under the Harmonized System to duty payment and physical inspections. Electronic filings are processed through the KRA's Integrated Customs Management System (iCMS). Unlike a standalone customs agency, the KRA combines customs and domestic tax administration under one roof, making it the competent authority for both trade-related and internal revenue matters.
