List Import Items

Import Items are goods or services brought into Kenya from other countries, requiring documentation in the eTIMS system to comply with Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) regulations.

Listing import items in eTIMS provides an overview of all imported goods recorded in your system, allowing for efficient inventory and compliance management
