KRA Updates Import Documentation Requirements for 2026

By Giant Kenya Logistics

New KRA filing requirements are coming into effect — here is what importers should prepare before their next consignment.

Importers clearing cargo at the Port of Mombasa should prepare for updated Kenya Revenue Authority documentation requirements rolling out this year.

Our clearing desk is already filing through the updated KRA Simba system workflows and has compiled a short checklist for affected consignments:

1. Confirm your KRA PIN is active and linked to the correct business name.

2. Ensure commercial invoices match declared values exactly.

3. Prepare import permits for regulated goods before the vessel arrives.

If you are expecting a shipment soon, contact our team and we will audit your documents before submission — a small step that avoids weeks of delay.
