The National Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) on Wednesday, November 23 declared a maximum licensing fee of Ksh1 million for alcohol trade.
The government entity specified that all businesses involved in importing or exporting alcoholic drinks in Kenya are required to pay this license fee.
In a statement, NACADA also announced that it had assumed licensing responsibilities from the Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee.
“Fees payable are according to the volumes intended to be imported or exported in the coming period of twelve months,” the statement read in part.
Traders involved in importing or exporting one million liters will be obligated to pay an annual licensing fee of Ksh1 million.
For quantities ranging from 500,000 to 999,999 liters, the licensing fee is set at Ksh500,000, and for amounts below that threshold, the fee will be Ksh250,000.
NACADA clarified that the certificate will be processed within 14 days following the submission of an application.
