List of Licensed Customs Agents in Kenya
Fact-checked on
In this article
Need someone to clear your goods at the port, airport or a border point? In Kenya, only customs agents licensed by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) are allowed to lodge customs entries on your behalf. Hand your cargo to an unlicensed “broker” and you could end up paying twice. Here is how to confirm that an agent is licensed, plus the agents that hold KRA’s longer Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) licences.
Where to Find the Official List
KRA publishes the official list of licensed customs agents. The current list covers about 1,390 firms:
- About 1,330 customs agents with annual licences valid until 31 December 2026.
- 58 AEO customs agents with three-year licences, valid until 31 December 2027 or 31 December 2028.
You can download the full list as a PDF from KRA: Licensed Customs Agents 2026–2028. Use your PDF reader’s search (Ctrl + F) to look up an agent by name.
Annual customs agent licences expire on 31 December every year. Agents had to apply to renew for 2027 by 31 October 2026. After 1 January 2027, check KRA’s website for the new list before you hire an agent.
How to Check if a Customs Agent Is Licensed
- Ask the agent for the company’s full registered name and a copy of its current KRA customs agent licence (Form C21).
- Open the KRA list of licensed customs agents and search for the company name.
- Check that the “valid to” date has not passed.
- If the name is missing or you are unsure, contact the KRA customs agents licensing office (contacts below) before handing over any documents or money.
