Customs, entry and exit regulations

Generally, personal effects such as Cameras, laptop computers and film may be imported
temporarily free of duty into Kenya and Tanzania. However, a customs bond may be required for
professional video equipment, sound recording instruments, radio communication equipment,
musical instruments and souvenirs from other countries. This is to ensure that goods can be reexported.
Firearms need a special permit, which must be obtained well in advance. Excess
baggage is strictly monitored by all airlines and charges for excess weight can be very high. Expect
customs officials to inspect baggage on arrival and departure.
