The supplier will take care of the cost of importation so my biggest worry is what the government will charge me. How much import tax does the government charge? Are there any other charges that the government may levy against me for running such a business?
Thanks, in advance for the help

I would check with the Kenya Revenue Authority directly and do some research into Importing from China; there's plenty on the web. I would imagine that it may be a complicated procedure, and it might be worth enlisting the help of a tax advisor or logistics professional with knowledge of international imports.
Good luck,
