What Kenya collects at the border, by the kind of goods it is collected on, for the ten years to 2024. Ten SITC sections and a total, 110 observations.

Duty collected grew 94.0 per cent over the decade, from KSh 75.0 billion to KSh 145.5 billion, while the imports it is levied on grew 71.1 per cent. So the amount compiled per shilling of imports rose from 4.74 per cent to 5.38.

Machinery and transport equipment is the largest source in 2024 at KSh 37.8 billion, followed by manufactured goods classified chiefly by material at KSh 34.5 billion and miscellaneous manufactured articles at KSh 22.2 billion. Food and live animals is fourth at KSh 18.2 billion, down from a 2021 peak of KSh 43.6 billion.

Mineral fuels compiles very little duty relative to its share of imports: KSh 2.5 billion in 2024 against a fuels import bill in the hundreds of billions, because fuel is taxed through excise and levies rather than import duty.

Figures are in thousands of Kenya shillings. This is the one table in chapter 6's import group that measures revenue rather than trade, so it does not reconcile against the national import figure and is checked against its own printed totals instead.
