eCUSTOMS is transforming Kenya’s trade reality - what once meant long queues and endless paperwork now happens in minutes, fully digital and transparent.
MSMEs, agents, and officials are all experiencing faster clearance, fewer delays, and a fair, predictable system.

The new eCustoms App boosts transparency, speeds up clearance & cuts costs - formally recognizes STR traders and supports women & youth value chains. Traders get instant declarations, less paperwork, full control, and secure PDF outputs.

For years, small and informal cross-border traders have faced delays, high costs, and limited access to reliable info and digital systems.
Today’s launch signals a renewed government commitment to faster clearance, greater transparency, and improved compliance.

See how eCUSTOMS is rewriting the story of trade in Kenya.

What used to take days of queues, stamps, and paperwork is now happening in minutes — digitally, transparently, and from anywhere.
From MSMEs to clearing agents to government officials, everyone is feeling the shift: faster clearance, fewer bottlenecks, and a fairer, more predictable trade ecosystem.
eCUSTOMS — where efficiency meets integrity. Trade, simplified.

Congratulations Kenya, Congratulations President @WilliamsRuto

[William Samoei Ruto, PhD @WilliamsRuto]

I accept the chairmanship of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) with gratitude, humility, and a deep sense of duty.

I commend President Evariste Ndayishimiye of Burundi, whose wise leadership has driven remarkable progress. I pledge to build on his achievements and work with every Member State as a committed and collaborative partner.

Together, we will advance COMESA’s vision of shared prosperity, deeper integration, and true transformation. Let us shape COMESA into a digital, dynamic, and inclusive regional bloc that embodies the promise of a rising Africa.

Together with Hon. @fikirini_jacobs, Principal Secretary, State Department for Youth Affairs and the Creative Economy, we share a common mandate to create economic opportunities for youth and MSMEs across the country.

This afternoon, we reviewed the progress of the NYOTA Project business skills training in Busia, Vihiga, Bungoma, and Kakamega Counties. We are encouraged by the enthusiasm and determination shown by the trainees, who are eager to turn their ideas into successful businesses.

Next week, Nairobi hosts the 24th COMESA Summit as Kenya assumes the chairmanship. This is more than a ceremonial role – it’s a chance to anchor Africa’s trade future in shared prosperity. #COMESACHAIR2025 #KenyaMeansBusiness

By encouraging MSMEs to access financing and regional markets, Kenya nurtures entrepreneurial growth. Small businesses now participate directly in continental commerce. One Africa Market #COMESACHAIR2025 #KenyaMeansBusiness

[Bianca™ @BiancaNaom1]

For decades, Africa exported raw materials only to import value. COMESA exists to end that cycle and strengthen the One Africa Market. The first buyer of African goods should be another African

KCB and Equity are already across Africa, Strong financial systems mean smoother money transfers and thriving regional commerce. #COMESACHAIR2025
