- Renewal applications must be filed through the Customs ICMS system by 31 October 2026.
- Required documents include the current licence, security bond, company registration documents, title/lease for the premises, Gazette Notice, CR12, tax compliance certificates for the company and all directors, 2025 audited accounts, and a completed C18 form.
- Successful applicants must pay a licence fee equivalent to US$10,000 per licence in Kenya shillings.
