Excise duty rates in Kenya

Excise duty is a tax charged on specific goods and services manufactured locally or imported, on varying rates. In Kenya, it is charged in both specific rate where a specific amount of tax is charged per unit of measure on an excisable product, and ad valorem rate where a percentage rate of duty is charged on the value of an excisable product. Generally, ad valorem rate is used where the objective is to raise revenue whereas specific rate is used to correct externalities. All manufacturers, providers and importers of excisable goods and services are requited to pay excise duty.

The excisable goods and services are mostly those considered to be luxurious, addictive, goods having negative effects and those that have low price elasticity, among others. Most of the excise taxes are levied on a specific rate base. These include, but not limited to, spirits, other alcoholic beverages (beer and wine), tobacco, soft drinks (water, juices, and non-alcoholic beverages), motor cycles, fuel oils, kerosene and plastic bags. All excisable services, food supplements, cosmetics and beauty products, and motor vehicles are charged on ad valorem rate.

    I couldn’t find clearly on which type of products excise duties were applicable.
    Maybe could you help me. I am interested by the following products:
    – Milk powder
    – Instant coffee powder (Nescafé type)
    – Cocoa powder
