Is filming and photography equipment temporarily brought into Kenya exempted from duty

Filming and photography equipment may be allowed into the country on a temporary basis upon clearance through the Customs Simba 2005 System.

Such importation is not subject to Import Declaration Form (IDF). However, a security bond has to be furnished with the undertaking that the equipment will be exported within such period, not exceeding twelve months from the date of importation.

A non refundable deposit of 1% of the value of the goods or Ksh.30,000, whichever is higher, is payable.
