The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) seeks to sell smartphones, laptops, and e-cigarettes at the Eldoret International Airport over tax non-compliance.

In a note, the Authority says that the cargo arrived at the airport between June 9 and 13, 2023.

“Pursuant to the provisions of section 42 of the East African Community Customs Management Act, 2004, notice is given that unless the under-mentioned goods are entered and removed from the Customs Warehouse within 30 days from the date of this notice, they will be sold by public auction on November 15, 2023.”

This comes after the Revenue recently reversed taxes paid on consolidation cargos to individual taxes.

It also compels importers to clear goods within 21 days.
