Quick Answer

Quick answer: importing a used Mercedes E-Class into Kenya lands at roughly $25,250–$53,600 all-in — FOB China $17,000–$38,000 plus freight, 35%+ (KRA) and clearance.

FOB price: $17,000–$38,000 depending on year and mileage.

Landed cost: $25,250–$53,600 = FOB + ocean freight (~$1,800) + 35%+ (KRA) + port clearance.

Import duty: expect 35%+ (KRA), usually calculated on the CIF value rather than the invoice price. Ask us for a worked CIF breakdown for the exact car.

Age limit: Kenya caps imported used cars at 8 years from first registration — we check the exact plate/registration date before quoting.

Steering side — read this first: Kenya drives on the left and requires right-hand drive (RHD). Most cars sourced from China are LHD, so for RHD markets we source genuine RHD units (common for Japanese and British-market models) or arrange a compliant RHD conversion before export.

Clearance port: cars clear at Mombasa.

Our E-Class stock: 41 units, model years 2016–2025, 8,000–260,000 km, 2.0T 258PS L4. Send the target year and quantity on WhatsApp for a confirmed quote.
