Buying used Japanese vehicles to Zambia

 

Before cars can be imported into Zambia, they need to be inspected. All vehicles must undergo a quality assessment by the Japan Export Vehicle Inspection Center (JEVIC). If everything is in order, a quality assessment certificate is issued. There are also some factors you can check before selecting a vehicle. These include the year of manufacture, absence of dents/physical defects and mileage.

 

What Is the Age Restriction When Importing a Car to Zambia?

The cost of importing used Japanese cars to Zambia varies depending on several factors. Zambian car importation laws and policies base vehicle import tax on the value of the vehicle. Age doesn’t factor in this calculation. However, age determines the import duty you will be expected to pay.

 

What is the Car import duty in Zambia?

Zambia car import duty can range from 22,243 to over 60,000 Kwacha. This will depend on:

  • The vehicle type (SUV, sedan, hatchback)
  • Engine capacity
  • Engine combustion (spark-ignition or compression-ignition)

 

More information can be obtained from the ZRA.
