The ZX Auto Wei Hu is a brand-new, factory-produced pickup truck with zero mileage, available in three powertrain options: a 1.5T turbo petrol, a 2.4L naturally aspirated petrol, and a 2.8T turbo diesel, all paired with a manual transmission. This workhorse is built for rugged utility and suits markets in Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America where durable, cost-effective pickups are in demand. Its robust ladder-frame chassis and practical bed make it ideal for hauling and off-road use. As a new import, it offers a low-risk entry point for dealers seeking reliable stock without used-vehicle wear. The real FOB price range is $10,738-$14,969 USD, reflecting the engine choice and trim. Choose the 2.8T for maximum torque in heavy-duty roles, or the 1.5T for fuel efficiency in urban cargo tasks.

Ethiopia import overview

Ethiopia is LHD-only with no vehicle age ceiling, which is normally favorable — but a 2024 fuel-vehicle import restriction adds real uncertainty for pure-ICE models like the Tank 300 and most diesel pickups.

The Tank 500 Hi4-T plug-in hybrid is a plausible route around the restriction, but we recommend confirming current eligibility with us before committing to any Ethiopia order, ICE or hybrid.

Standard duty stack: ~35% base duty, tiered excise tax by engine displacement (roughly 60% for 1,300–1,800cc up to 100%+ for 3,000cc+), plus a 10% surtax.

Importing a vehicle to {country}: common questions

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

Ethiopia has no hard age limit on used vehicle imports.

What duty and VAT apply on import into Ethiopia?

Duty 35% plus VAT 15% and Excise duty (engine-size tiered) 10% apply on the CIF value — confirm current rates with a local broker before you commit.

Should I ship by RORO or container?

Budget roughly $950 per unit by RORO, or $1,900 per unit in a container — we compare both for your order.

What does customs clearance cost?

Expect about $400 for clearance and port handling; the exact figure depends on the port and your shipping agent.

ICE import restriction — verify before ordering: Since 2024-01-29, Ethiopia's transport authority has restricted general/private import of vehicles under 10 seats with internal-combustion engines. Whether this restriction extends to commercial pickups, and whether PHEV/HEV models are exempt, has not been independently confirmed for every vehicle class — verify with us before placing an order for ICE-only models.
