Zimbabwe allows the importation of suitable right-hand-drive used vehicles. Vehicle age, engine capacity, vehicle category and customs valuation can affect import costs and suitability.
Before bidding at Japanese auctions, customers should confirm the vehicle specifications and expected import charges for Zimbabwe.
Imported vehicles in Zimbabwe are assessed according to customs valuation procedures. Applicable charges may include customs duty, VAT, surtaxes and other government fees depending on the vehicle type, engine size, value and current regulations.
Because tax rates and valuation methods may change, customers should confirm the latest requirements with the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) or a licensed clearing agent before purchasing a vehicle.
Since Zimbabwe has no seaport, Japanese vehicles are normally shipped through regional ports such as Durban, South Africa or Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, followed by inland transportation.
