S 1 - 2 D I ID RK RT C - 0

Uganda’s Revenue Authority announced a full waiver on port storage charges, customs warehouse rent, and container demurrage fees for long-stay containerized cargo at the Port of Mombasa. The measure follows a directive from Kenya’s port and revenue agencies to ease congestion and improve cargo flow. Importers must apply for the waiver and still pay primary port charges, rail freight, shipping line fees, and taxes. The thirty-day program runs from November 6 to December 6, 2025.
