The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) received support from GIZ to facilitate the establishment and operationalization of a Multi-Agency Pre-Arrival Processing Committee to coordinate implementation of Pre-Arrival Processing (P-AP). The Authority also received support from GIZ to undertake a study on P-AP. Kenya still requires support from development partners to: (i) Upgrade agencies’ systems to incorporate artificial intelligence to recognize pre-arrival declaration (ii) Integrate non-cellular vessels into the Integrated Customs Management System for compatibility. (iii) Build capacity and sensitization of stakeholders and border agencies on Pre-Arrival Processing (iv) Undertake legal review to accommodate P-AP (v) Benchmark with other WTO members who have fully implemented Pre-Arrival Processing |
