Frequently Asked Questions

Is there an age limit for importing a car to Zambia?

No official age limit, but vehicles over five years old attract higher ZRA duty, which usually makes a newer model cheaper once the taxes are added.

What is EAA inspection?

EAA certification is required for Japanese used cars entering Zambia. Without a valid certificate you risk penalties at clearance, so it is done before the car ships.

What taxes will I pay?

Customs duty on the ZRA table by engine size and age, excise included in that table, 16% VAT on the combined value, a carbon emission surtax by engine capacity, and a surcharge on older vehicles.

What is ASYCUDA preclearance?

Since May 2024 vehicles must be precleared in the ASYCUDA World system at least five days before arrival. Missing it incurs a penalty.

What documents do I need for customs?

Bill of lading, commercial invoice, EAA inspection certificate, export certificate, customs declaration (CE 20), national ID and the Interpol vehicle clearance certificate.

Do I need a clearing agent?

Not mandatory, but recommended. We can recommend agents we have worked with.
