The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is set to auction thousands of unclaimed goods from its customs warehouses at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), Nairobi Inland Container Depot, and Kisumu Customs Station. This action follows importers' failure to clear their cargo within the stipulated 30-day period, as required by the East African Community Customs Management Act (EACCMA) 2004.

• The auctions will take place over multiple days in March, including March 16-20, 2026, via the KRA's online auction portal.
• The goods, worth millions of shillings, include a wide range of items from consumer products like children’s tablets and human hair at Kisumu, to commercial shipments such as sugar, beauty products, and motorcycle tires at Nairobi.
• Items at JKIA’s Forodha Customs Warehouse slated for auction include electronics, medical equipment, and clothing, among others.
