The Government of Kenya, through the Ministry of Industrialization, Trade and Enterprise Development, announced in March 2020 a ban directive on importation of used garments and used shoes.
Following the government directive, the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) issued a public notice on 31 March 2020 notifying the general public and all importers of used garments and used footwear (commonly known as mitumba) that importation of used garments and used footwear was prohibited with immediate effect.
