Kenya’s tax authority has intercepted more than 21,000 undeclared smartphones at Eldoret International Airport in one of its largest recent seizures. The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) said its enforcement unit, acting on an intelligence tip-off, impounded 21,600 high-end handsets with unpaid taxes valued at Ksh.16.1 million. The shipment also included 5,000 properly declared phones worth Ksh.6.4 million, alongside other cargo such as shoes, clothes, auto parts, household goods, and electronic accessories. In a statement, the KRA explained that the undeclared goods were part of a consignment consigned to Pemba Cargo Limited and declared by Portyard Limited. Eldoret, a hub for cargo flights from Asia and the Middle East, has become a key battleground in the effort to curb contraband.
