The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has launched a new electronic seal framework to enhance cargo security and risk management, effective October 26, 2026.

• The new system shifts from a government-owned to a multi-vendor, user-owned electronic seal framework for both dry and wet cargo.
• This transition involves 15 approved private vendors, aiming to leverage advanced technologies for better traceability and tamper alerts.
• The move is expected to reduce theft, smuggling, and cargo tampering, while also supporting port decongestion initiatives and democratizing seal access.
