Editorial links for comparison; this is not a market-sales ranking.

Invoice and payment

Ask for the invoice currency, the receiving bank details and who bears intermediary-bank charges before you transfer; all three are confirmed in writing on the proforma invoice.

Version, SIM and lock notes

Give the clearing agent accurate model details, quantity and every IMEI; do not infer network compatibility from the family name.

Import rules in brief

The Communications Authority says mobile cellular devices are subject to type approval, and commercial sellers must follow the applicable licensed-vendor route. KRA requires mobile-device import entries to include accurate quantities, model details and IMEI numbers, together with the necessary CA permits or clearances, in its IMEI declaration notice.

The cited pages do not establish blanket eligibility for commercial used-phone shipments. Confirm the live CA and Customs workflow with the Kenyan importer or clearing agent before dispatch.

Records to prepare

Use the exact model, quantity and IMEI list required for the import entry.
Check the proposed models against the CA’s type-approved equipment register.
Confirm the regional version, SIM hardware and network lock from the lot list and model-code guide.

Payment and shipment planning

BiteLot accepts bank transfer only. Review the ordering terms and ask for a dated quote showing current availability, invoice currency and bank fees. Provide the destination city, lot size and clearing instructions for a route quote.

Buyer review

Compare the grading standard and per-unit inspection process before approving the balance. Import and clearance remain the buyer’s responsibility under the terms.

Rules and agency procedures can change. Confirm the current process with the named authorities and a qualified importer or customs broker in Kenya before ordering. Carrier activation at the destination and door-to-door transit time are outside BiteLot's control: confirm both with your destination carrier and your freight forwarder. Importing remains the buyer's responsibility under the terms.
