The implementation of this platform will be launched on <strong>Monday, 3rd August, 2026.</strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><br />Exporters shipping goods to Kenya will obtain an ACD reference code from acd.kra.go.ke at the point of loading containerised cargo destined for Kenya ports. The reference code will be generated once the following documents are uploaded to the platform:</p> <p>1. Draft Bill of Lading<br />2. Commercial Invoice<br />3. Freight Invoice, and<br />4. Export Declaration.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The ACD reference code will be endorsed on the Bill of Lading before the shipment proceeds to a Kenyan port. Stakeholders are urged to visit <a href="https://acd.kra.go.ke/home">acd.kra.go.ke</a> for full guidance on the ACD process. For further inquiries, please email operations@acd.kra.go.ke or <a href="mailto:info@acd.kra.go.ke">info@acd.kra.go.ke</a>.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Commissioner for Customs and Border Control</strong></p>
