Clarifying Export Procedures: Invoice Destination and Customs Duties for Rwanda via Mombasa Port Discussed A discussion forum addressed issues related to exporting goods to Rwanda via Mombasa port in Kenya. The query asked whether the commercial invoice should list Kenya or Rwanda as the import location and if a Rwandan individual could clear customs in Kenya without a business license there. One response suggested that if a Double Taxation Avoidance Treaty exists between Rwanda and Kenya, goods might pass without customs duty; otherwise, duties would apply in both countries. It was advised to address the invoice to the Rwandan importer and list Mombasa as the destination port. Another participant endorsed this view. (AI Summary)
