Tanzania is a mid-priority market for us with LHD vehicles accepted, but its 8-year age limit (measured from manufacture date to arrival at Dar es Salaam port) is strictly enforced — vehicles exceeding it are turned away at the port, not merely fined.

This makes Tanzania best suited to new or near-new vehicles rather than older used stock.
