| dc.description.abstract | This study is being conducted with the aim of investigating the effects of customs clearance procedures on the cost of doing business in Kenya. The independent variables to be studied are declaration of goods, verification of goods and release of goods. A research through the literature review demonstrated that there is little reliable information on the subject topic’s independent variables, in relation with the cost of doing business. Also, most of the information available dates back to the years beyond 2010, yet major changes have been implemented over recent years. In this study, the target population was KPA officers, KRA Customs Officers, importers/traders, clearing and forwarding firms. Data was collected using questionnaire and a census was done. The data collection procedure was the drop and pick later procedure, and pilot testing was conducted on five percent of the members, not from the sample size. The research then found that verification of goods and release of goods have a significant relationship to cost of doing business in Kenya, and all the dependent variables, including declaration of goods had a strong relationship to the independent variable, cost of doing business in Kenya. The study then recommended that because declaration of goods is conceptually perceived to have a strong significant relationship to the cost of doing business in Kenya, it would be best if studied from other perspectives besides those studied in this study. Also, the cost of doing business in a state may as well be affected by other trading states’ practices, other dependent variables do exist that affect cost of doing business and government agencies like KRA and KPA were given to be possible areas of further studies. | en_US |
