Import Tips

• Verify Kenyan origin documentation showing all fibers/yarns are Kenyan-grown and processed to qualify under AGOA lesser developed beneficiary provisions

• Include certificates of origin and mill/production records tracing materials from Kenyan farms through manufacturing

• Avoid common pitfall of importing pre-formed fabrics from outside SSA; all components must originate in beneficiary countries
