From October 12th, KRA has said it will be taxing consumer goods entering the country at the time of entry. Yani there will be no more custom bonded warehouses. Hapa only the businesses with deep pockets will survive.

Wakulima wadogo who import things like cars, clothing, office supplies, alcohol wataumia sana because custom bonded warehouses ensured they had constant supplies ready for their customers/market.

KRA wakifanya hivo. I believe them. Unapata mtu ako na duka ya 10k rent enough to fit only a counter and stool hapo gikomba. But imports 2 containers per month. That shop makes annual turnover of 45 million tax free. Wako ligi ya deacons but Watu wanaficha claiming ni small scale traders.

I think you and @Mwalimu-G hamuelewi how custom bonded warehouses work. People pay tax when the goods leave the custom bonded warehouses. Whether they end up being sold in a big mall or in a 6x6 shop it doesn't matter when it comes to customs.
