"Successful Representation in Customs Disputes: Tribunal Rules Products as Fertilizers"

"The press release announces successful representation of a client in three customs disputes before the Tax Appeals Tribunal against the Commissioner of Customs and Border Control in Kenya. The disputes arose from the reclassification of the client's imported products, which the Commissioner argued were chemical preparations rather than fertilizers. The legal team, led by Partner George Muchiri, successfully argued that the products were primarily fertilizers based on their main components, leading the Tribunal to rule in favor of the client and classify the products correctly under the Harmonized System Code for fertilizers. The victories highlight the firm's expertise in handling tax disputes."
