How to join Farmasi from Kenya
Farmasi has no local operation in Kenya. You enroll on the United States site and orders ship from the US warehouse.
This works differently from a market with its own Farmasi office. Because Farmasi does not operate locally in Kenya, you enroll on the United States site, picking your country from the dropdown, and orders ship from the US warehouse. Signing up is the easy part. What actually decides whether the business works for you is what happens when the parcel reaches customs in Kenya โ so that is what this page covers, with the real numbers.
The sign-up, step by step
- 1
Get a sponsor link
The system needs to know whose team you are joining. Enroll through the link on this page and you join mine, and I walk you through it from day one.
- 2
Go to the United States site
Do not go looking for a Farmasi Kenya website โ there isn't one. Enrollment happens on farmasius.com with my sponsor code already applied.
- 3
Pick "Kenya (From US)" in the dropdown
This is the step people skip, and it is the one that matters. In the "Register for" selector at the top of the form, find your option and select it. Leave it on the United States and the form will ask you for details you do not have.

Fill in your details and address
Name, email, phone and the address in Kenya where you want your order delivered. Check what the form asks for before you pay โ this is where most people get stuck.

Customs and taxes when your order lands in Kenya
There is no de minimis for courier parcels in Kenya. The USD 500 figure people quote is a passenger allowance for accompanied personal goods, not for something shipped to you. Four charges stack on the CIF value: import duty under the EAC Common External Tariff, the Import Declaration Fee, the Railway Development Levy and VAT at 16%. EAC duties run from 0% to 100% and average around 25%.
Paying in US dollars from Kenya
Kenya repealed exchange control law in 1993 and runs a market-determined rate. Up to USD 10,000 can be exchanged without documentation, so paying a US site with a card is straightforward.
Product rules and registration
This is Kenya's sharpest number. Imports normally need a KEBS Certificate of Conformity issued before export. Courier parcels below a value set by the KEBS Council are exempt, but that value is not published. Goods that arrive without a certificate go to destination inspection at 0.6% of customs value, with a minimum of USD 300 โ which can cost more than the order itself.
If you start selling regularly
Register with the KRA if you start selling regularly, and budget for the inspection risk on anything that arrives uncertified.
Frequently asked questions from Kenya
Why do I enroll on the United States site?
Because Farmasi has no local operation in Kenya. The company lists these countries in the dropdown of the US form so you can enroll and receive product from its warehouse.
Will the product actually reach Kenya?
Yes, it ships from the United States warehouse to your address. What differs from a local market is the transit time and, above all, the import taxes explained above.
What currency do I pay in?
US dollars. Your bank applies the conversion and, depending on the country, an extra charge or levy.
Do I need a US address?
That depends on what the form asks once you select your country. Check before you pay โ plenty of people enroll without changing the dropdown and then find themselves asked for US details.
What if Farmasi opens an office in Kenya?
Farmasi has been opening new markets steadily. If it opens in Kenya, ask entrepreneur support how that affects your account rather than assuming the migration is automatic.
Can I legally resell what I import?
Importing for personal use and reselling are different things in law. Read the product rules and the section on going official โ that is where the specifics for Kenya are.
