The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has announced a deadline for replacing government-owned electronic cargo seals under the Regional Electronic Cargo Tracking System (RECTS). KRA announced the phase-out will be completed by October 28, 2026. The transition comes as RECTS shifts to a Multi-Vendor, User-Owned Seals model, aimed at improving service delivery and responding to changing business needs.
KRA approved 15 vendors to provide electronic monitoring and tracking services for goods under customs control, under the new Multi-Vendor User-Owned Framework. Importers, exporters, clearers, transporters, bonded warehouse operators, and other stakeholders involved in customs-controlled goods movement will utilize devices supplied by these approved vendors.
Users can choose their preferred vendor from the list of 15 companies, with the framework based on private commercial agreements. The list of approved vendors is available on KRA's website and various Customs Offices.
