Approved vendors for the electronic monitoring and tracking of goods under customs control and transition to the multi-vendor user-owned framework

<p><img src="https://www.kra.go.ke/images/NEXTGEN/Multi-vendor_tracking-Sept-2026.webp" /></p><p>To enhance service delivery under the Regional Electronic Cargo Monitoring System (RECTS) and in response to evolving business dynamics and increasing demands, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has transitioned to a Multi- Vendor, User-Owned Seals model for both dry cargo (e-seals) and wet cargo (e-fuel) electronic seals. This model is intended to support the port decongestion initiatives as well as democratise access to the seals.</p> <p>KRA therefore notifies Importers, Exporters, Clearing and Forwarding Agents, Transporters, Bonded Warehouse Operators and All Other Stakeholders and Partner States, it has approved 15 vendors to provide electronic monitoring and tracking services in respect of goods under customs control, within the Multi-Vendor User-Owned Framework of the Regional Electronic Cargo Tracking System (RECTS).</p> <p>Subsequently<strong>, </strong>the electronic seals presently owned by KRA under RECTS will be gradually phased out upto <strong>26th October 2026</strong>. Thereafter, the electronic monitoring and tracking of goods under Customs control shall be undertaken exclusively by means of devices supplied by the approved Vendors in line with the Multi-Vendor User-Owned Framework. This Framework shall be based on private commercial agreement between the approved vendors and users. Users are at liberty to select any of the approved Vendors.</p> <p>The list of the approved vendors may be obtained in the KRA website (<a href="http://www.kra.go.ke">www.kra.go.ke</a>) or by email to <a href="mailto:cmu@kra.go.ke">cmu@kra.go.ke</a> or visit the Cargo Monitoring Unit, 13^th Floor, Times Tower or any other Customs Offices.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>COMMISSIONER, CUSTOMS AND BORDER CONTROL</strong></p>
