ATC Japan has made history by becoming the first motorcycle exporter to achieve QISJ (Quality Inspection Services Japan) certification under KEBS (Kenya Bureau of Standards) regulations. This milestone positions us as the leading Japanese motorcycle exporter to Kenya, setting a new benchmark in the industry.
Our first certified export was the 2023 Yamaha MT-09 — the very first motorcycle delivered to Kenya with official QISJ certification, highlighting our leadership and commitment to safe, reliable imports.
Why QISJ Certification is a Big Step

Becoming QISJ-certified is more than compliance. It demonstrates ATC Japan’s dedication to quality, transparency, and customer trust. With recognition from one of Japan’s strictest inspection authorities, our shipments now carry greater credibility and assurance for Kenyan buyers.
What QISJ Certification Means for Motorcycle Imports
Importing motorcycles into Kenya requires compliance with KEBS through the Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVOC). By working with QISJ, an inspection body approved by KEBS, ATC Japan ensures every motorcycle we export is:
- Roadworthy: inspected for safety, mechanical reliability, and durability
- Compliant with KEBS: meeting Kenya’s environmental and road safety standards
- Verified for authenticity: mileage, documents, and details are checked before shipping
- Easy to import: smoother customs clearance avoiding delays and penalties
This guarantees Kenyan buyers peace of mind, knowing their motorcycle is approved before it leaves Japan.
Our First Certified Motorcycle: 2023 Yamaha MT-09

The first milestone under QISJ certification was applied to the 2023 Yamaha MT-09, a sport motorcycle known worldwide for its design and performance:
- Engine: 900 cc inline triple
- Transmission: Manual (MT)
- Mileage: 11,000 km
- Year: 2023
- Color: Black
This MT-09 became the first motorcycle certified by QISJ to enter Kenya, shipped directly by ATC Japan.
How This Benefits Kenyan Riders
For riders in Kenya, this certification means a safer, simpler, and more reliable import experience. Every ATC Japan motorcycle has been inspected, approved, and cleared before shipping, reducing port delays, hidden problems, and extra costs.
Customers can focus on enjoying their new ride instead of worrying about paperwork or compliance issues. With KEBS-approved bikes, importing becomes faster, smoother, and more affordable.
ATC Japan Leading the Industry
By becoming the first motorcycle exporter certified by QISJ for KEBS, ATC Japan sets a new industry benchmark. This achievement is not just about one bike — it transforms the entire process of importing Japanese motorcycles into Kenya, ensuring every model is verified, certified, and ready to ride.
Our Commitment to Kenya
ATC Japan’s recognition as the first QISJ-certified motorcycle exporter to Kenya is both an achievement and a promise. From high-performance sport bikes to everyday commuters, every motorcycle we ship carries the same guarantee of inspection, certification, and compliance.
The Yamaha MT-09 was only the beginning. With QISJ certification, ATC Japan is ready to make motorcycle imports to Kenya safer, smoother, and better for everyone.
