(1) The Board shall ensure, subject to such regional and international trade agreements to which Kenya is a party, that all sugar imports into the country are subject to all the prevailing import duties, taxes and other tariffs. (2) Despite sub-section (1), the Board shall ensure that— (a) sugar shall be imported in the country only when there is sugar deficit and for a specific tonnage; and (b) importers report to the Board on their imports, sales and stock as may be determined by the Board. (3) The Government shall introduce other safeguard measures as may be necessary to protect the industry from unfair trade practices. (4) A person who contravenes the provision of this section commits an offence and shall be liable, on conviction, to a fine not exceeding three times the domestic value of the sugar in respect of which the offence is committed, or two million shillings, whichever is the higher, or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years, or to both."
