🇰🇪 Kenya Float Glass Import & Tax Dispute

One of the biggest current issues in Kenya’s glass sector is the dispute over float glass imports, excise duty exemptions, and market control.

Kenyan float glass processors recently won temporary relief in the High Court after challenging restrictions and excise duty barriers on imported float glass. Industry players argue the situation threatens thousands of jobs and increases costs for local processors.

Another related report claims Kenyan processors are facing pressure from Tanzanian-linked supply chains and rising raw material costs, creating major debate inside East Africa’s architectural glass market.
