KRA impounds high-end vehicles disguised as household goods

Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) officials have intercepted three high-end motor-vehicles concealed as household goods and hidden in two containers.

The concealment was discovered during a Customs clearance process at the Port of Mombasa.

KRA said import documents indicated that the consignment originated from the United Kingdom and was on transit to Uganda.

During the cargo verification process, scanner images did not match with information in the importation documents. This prompted Customs officials, together with a multi-agency taskforce to undertake a 100% verification of the containers.
