Kenya Revenue Authority has listed items that are exempted from declaration upon arrival.
In a handbook on Tuesday, KRA said Household effects conditionally included are duty-free.

They include; Carpets, paintings, tableware, linens, and similar household furnishings.
Others are; Tools of the trade, professional books, implements, and instruments.
For Customs purposes, clothing, jewelry, photography equipment, and portable radios are considered personal effects but cannot be brought in duty-free as household effects.
“However, duty is usually waived on personal effects more than one year of age. All vehicles are dutiable,” KRA said.
