FILE PHOTO | NMGCar importers have until Thursday to sell cars that are more than eight years, the Kenya Bureau of Standards (Kebs) has announced. The law requires that second-hand cars imported into the country be less than eight years old from the year of first registration. “KEBS has received petitions that Covid-19 pandemic might have affected some importers due to disruption of shipping schedules. “All vehicles issued with such Certificates of Roadworthiness must have arrived at the Port of Destination/ Ports of Entry points by 31st December 2020. Any 2013 Vehicle registered in 2013 arriving after 31st December 2020 will be deemed not to comply with KS 1515:2000 and shall be rejected at the importer’s expense” he said.
