Hello, regarding the importation of a car; the vehicle must not be older than 8 years and must be right hand drive. Duty is calculated on the basis of CIF (cost + insurance + freight). Kenya Revenue Authority value the vehicle, based on the UK 'Glass's Guide'. Duty, VAT (16%) and various other charges amount to around 75% of the vehicles value. Vehicles must also have a pre shipment inspection by a company called Jevic.
If your vehicle is diesel and has a dpf, either have it removed, or don't import - the lower quality fuel will block the filter, leading to large repair bills.
For motorbikes; see the link below:

Riding a motorcycle in Kenya is very high risk, so ensure you have a good medical cover - hospital/medical charges are very high.
Sell me the motorcycle if it is a superbike
Thank you for the link for motorbikes. However my bike is from 2007 and it's a Honda Shadow 1100. The biggest size you can pick is 750 and the oldest is 2010 so I cant really calculate it. How do I go about this?. Thank you

I suggest that you contact a shipping specialist in that case. I really don't know about shipping bikes. I have only ever shipped personal cars.
