Why customers choose Kabex
Importing a car means sending a large amount of money a long way from home. These are the things we do to make that reasonable.
50% of the CIF price starts the process
You do not need the full amount to begin. Half the CIF price starts your import, and the balance falls due two weeks before the vessel docks in Mombasa.
Quick clearance and faster delivery
Paperwork is prepared while your car is still at sea, so clearing starts the day it arrives.
Clearing support from Mombasa to Kampala
One team handles the port, the border and the road, so nothing is handed to a stranger halfway.
URA tax advisory
We tell you what URA will charge before you commit, not after the car lands.
Support to protect you from fraud
Auction sheets, verified sellers and a physical office on Kampala Road you can walk into.
Updates and guidance throughout the process
You are told where your car is at each stage, from purchase to delivery.

We flag models entering the market and the years still allowed into Uganda.

We tell you what URA will charge before you commit, not after the car lands. You can also estimate it yourself with the tax calculator, though those figures are estimates rather than an official quotation, and your final tax must be confirmed through official URA channels.
