Kenya: Training on the new EU REX system

The Kenya Horticultural Council (KHC) in conjunction with Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has organized training on the new EU REX system. The training will be held on 27th June 2017 starting from 8.30 am at the Golden Tulip Hotel, Westlands, Nairobi and will cost Ksh 3,500 per person.

The REX System is an electronic system based in the EU that the local competent authorities register exporters on. Upon registration the exporters no longer fill in a paper GSP certificate to the EU, Norway and Switzerland. Instead of the paper certificates the registered exporters will make statements of origin in prescribed form on commercial documents. By end of this year (2017), all exports requiring GSP to Norway and Switzerland should be done using this platform.

Kenya elected to implement in 2017 and KRA being the competent authority for issuance of all preferential proofs of origin in Kenya is in the process of rolling out the project.
