The CFS code or Container Freight Station (CFS) code, is commonly known as the terminal code. It is a special number to identify the place where an imported car goes through checks and clearance. The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) assigns this code to keep an eye on the car’s journey through customs.
This code is really important because it helps the KRA make sure the car’s proper checking and clearance before giving it to the person who imported it. It also stops the car from being taken somewhere else secretly.
When you import used car from Japan to Kenya, you need to share your CFS code with the shipping company. They use it to know where to put your car when it arrives.
You also have to provide your CFS code to the KRA when they check your car at customs.This way, everything goes smoothly, and you can drive your imported car without any issues.
In simple terms, the CFS code is like a unique ticket for your imported car. It helps the authorities keep track of where your car is, ensuring it’s checks properly and reaches you safely. So, when bringing a car from Japan, just share this code with the shipping company and show it to customs officials for a smooth and hassle-free experience.
