Taking a computer into Kenya as a gift

by Visitor
(New Zealand)


Hi there,

I am a New Zealander and I am going to Kenya and was wanting to take a second-hand laptop computer to give to a Kenyan friend as a gift.

Are there any customs costs that I would have to pay to do this?

Many thanks.

Laptop
by: Archie Melrose

Thanks for your mail and totally agree with Arjen, I have taken my laptop a couple of times into Kenya in its laptop bag carried on to the flight. OK its checked out by the security on the way out to Nairobi but no problems on entering Kenya.
Might be a good idea to put some files in the pictures or music folders to show it has been used.
Windows XP is the favourite system in Kenya

Regards

Archie

A practical solution...
by: Arjen (webmaster)

Hi, a Dutch saying says, "Never wake up a sleeping dog". If I were you I would just put my laptop in my luggage, bring it to Kenya, and hand it over to your friend. If anyone at customs asks (which they often won't), you say it's your laptop. And that's the truth, indeed.

Good luck,
Arjen
