Tanzania import overview

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.

Importing a vehicle to {country}: common questions

Is there an age limit for importing used vehicles into Tanzania?

Tanzania applies a 8-year age limit on used imports — confirm your target model year before ordering.

What duty and VAT apply on import into Tanzania?

Duty 25% plus VAT 18% apply on the CIF value — confirm current rates with a local broker before you commit.

Should I ship by RORO or container?

Expect about $350 for clearance and port handling; the exact figure depends on the port and your shipping agent.
