During the bilateral between Kenya and URT in January 2018, It was agreed that TRA will carry out verification on the rules of origin for lubricants, edible oil and cement. The verification will be undertaken by 31st March 2018.
Where the certificate of origin is queried, the custom administration should call for a bond as security of the goods until the verification exercise is complete. The Extra Ordinary SCTIFI that sat in February, 2018 directed that the EAC Secretariat coordinates a verification mission on edible oils, cement, lubricants in Kenya by 31st March 2018. URT reported that the verification could not be undertaken due to financial shortcomings. URT committed to undertake the consultation since this matter has financial implications. A verification was undertaken from 18th to 23rd June,2018 and the findings were communicated to all Partner States for implementation.
