3:50Now PlayingPolice fired tear gas to disperse small-scale traders protesting against an import duty hike, a Reuters witness saw on Friday, while hundreds of businesses closed in central Nairobi. The Kenya Revenue Authority said its decision to raise the duty with effect from August 20 aimed to curb under-declaration and undervaluation of imports, which it said disadvantages compliant businesses and local manufacturers. The duty change raises the minimum customs benchmark for a consolidated 40-foot container to 3.2 million Kenyan shillings ($24,700) from 2.5 million shillings. The authority said the 3.2 million shilling figure was a minimum reference point, not a fixed value for every container. Importers whose goods exceed that value must declare their actual worth and pay the applicable duties.
