Importing New and Used cars into Tanzania

• These regulations may be subject to change without prior notice from time to time
• In some countries imported car will be confiscated at port if it does not meet import regulations
• So please confirm with your Customs, etc. for the latest info.

There is no age limit in importation of used vehicles into Tanzania. However all vehicles must undergo roadworthiness’ inspection before shipping. A certificate to that effect must be issued. In absence of a Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) an importer into Tanzania or Kenya will be required to pay 30% penalty of the CIF value.

In case of Japan, Japan Automobile Appraisal Institute (JAAI) does this. This is a non-profit foundation under the supervision of The Japan Ministry of International Trade and Industry.

- Import Declaration Form (IDF) is applicable on all imports to Tanzania irrespective of value. However, imports whose FOB (Freight on Board) value is US $5,000 and above must undergo a pre-shipment inspection by a company contracted by the Government of Tanzania. In case of Japan, this is executed by Cotecna Inspections.

Tanzanian, Kenyan and Malawian customers prefer used Toyota Hilux Tiger and Toyota Hilux Vigo over brand new Toyota Hilux Vigo. Whether your preference is 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, Toyota Hilux 5L, Toyota Hilux EFI, Toyota Hilux Tiger, Toyota Hilux D-4D or 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 0r 2008 Toyota Hilux Vigo we have the highest quality pickup or SUV ready to be shipped to either Dar-es-Salaam or Mombasa.

If your preference is Toyota Fortuner SUV, we have a broad selection of Fortuner vehicles. Toyota Fortuner is a versatile SUV which has the same pedigree as Toyota Prado and Toyota Landcruiser but is much cheaper.

Whether your choice is Dar-es-Salaam port or Mombasa port, please note that our rates to either of these ports are the cheapest when compared to other vendors. Since 80% of all cars exported out of Thailand are shipped by us we have a lot of clout with shipping companies and this results in reduced costs for our custmers. Since our cars are priced the lowest customers get huge overall savings.

Customs Regulations

Guideline to Suppliers

Importing of goods into Tanzania. There are formal governmental procedures to be taken into consideration. The following document will describe the procedures that have to be passed and it will also state what is required from you at the different stages. Unless the following guidelines are cautiously and timely followed up there will most certainly be delays in shipment of goods which will consequently result to late clearance and delivery of the goods to the final customer. The supplier can be held responsible for any additional costs incurred on shipment due non-compliance of the import procedures.

1. Import Declaration Form (IDF)

All imports to Tanzania require an IDF. When the importer in Tanzania applies for an IDF, the information to be filled out on the application is to be provided by the supplier together with a Proforma Invoice. Following information is required on the Proforma Invoice to facilitate accurate application of IDF.

Required from the supplier

1. Specification and a clear description of the quantity and quality of the goods
2. Free On Board (FOB) Value
3. Freight Value (if applicable)
4. Customs Harmonised Commodity Code
5. Currency of the payment
6. Mode of Transportation
7. Goods Country of Origin
8.  The Proforma invoice number and final invoice number must read same.

2. Introduction to Destination Inspection (DI)

The Tanzania Revenue Authority has mandated that effective July 1st, 2004 all imports into Tanzania will be subject to Destination Inspection by TANZANIA INSPECTION SERVICE CO. (TISCAN). This is a Tanzanian registered company and a member of the COTECNA S.A GROUP.

3. Objectives of DI in Tanzania

The key objectives of PSI in Tanzania are as follows

1. To verify the quality and quantity of imports
2. To assist Customs with the collection of the correct amounts of duties and taxes
3. To provide Customs with an independent opinion of the Dutiable Value for Customs purposes
4. To verify the accuracy of tariff codes classifications
5. Computation of the correct duties and taxes payable
6. To provide the Government of Tanzania with reliable and up-to-date statistics related to Trade and Customs revenues

4. Imports subject to DI

All imports to Tanzania irrespective of value

5. Imports exempted from DI

• Commercial samples and goods returning after repair
• Supplies to Diplomatic Missions or International Organizations · Transit Goods
• Parcel post goods or express couriers not exceeding USD 5,000 in value
• Emergency supplies airlifted as may be approved by the Tanzania Revenue Authority

6. Preparation for DI

As soon as an importer has arranged to import goods and has entered into a contract with an overseas supplier, he should apply to his Commercial Bank for an Import Declaration Form (IDF).

The importer must present a Proforma Invoice for the goods to be imported and will be obliged to pay a Destination Inspection Processing Fees of 1.2% of the FOB value to his Commercial Bank.

The Bank will then transfer the IDF and Proforma Invoice to Importer and TISCAN in Dar-es-Salaam, usually within the same working day. Importers and agents have to ensure that an IDF with all relevant Documents reach the Inspection Company at least 10 working days prior to arrival of the goods.

7. Risk Profiling

With each import, associated risk is identified through risk profiling. · Low risk (Green Channel) – Goods may be released without physical inspection · Medium risk (Yellow Channel) – Full Container Load (FCL) consignments will be subject to x-ray scanning · High risk (Red Channel) – Goods shall be subject to physical inspection by Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) to determine compliance

8. The DI Process

1. Once TISCAN receives the IDF and Pro forma Invoice from the Bank, a preliminary review of the documents is carried out and the details entered into TISCAN computer system. TISCAN will electronically transmit the IDF data to affiliate in country of export for documentary data verification.
2. Upon receipt of original documentation from suppliers, TISCAN shall prepare an Internal Findings Report (IFR)
3. Upon receiving the IFR and there is no discrepancy in the importer’s declaration, TISCAN issues a Preliminary Classification and Valuation Report (PCVR) and Declared Classification and Valuation Report (DCVR). The PCVR / DCVR provides TISCAN’s opinions on values, classification and level of Intervention / Inspection determined by the CRMS.
4. If importer accepts PCVR, he signs it and applies for a Single Bill of Entry (SBE). Documents to be submitted together with the application include PCVR, IDF copy, Original Shipping documents e.g. Commercial Invoice and Ocean Bill of Lading together with original duty/taxes exemption documents (if applicable).
5. Once SBE has been issued and accepted into the Customs Sytems, no additional declaration or access is permissible. In event the importer rejects contents of the PCVR, he may put it in writing to TISCAN giving reasons for not accepting the declared information. In accordance with importer’s right to appeal, the importer can prepare own SBE under protest and attach to this the original SBE issued by TISCAN. This is then lodged with Customs to determine the finality in accordance with the law.
6. TISCAN will then issue a Final Classification and Valuation Report (FCVR) together with the SBE.
7. Once SBE has been issued the importer or his agent will pay applicable duties and taxes to the designated Bank. The importer/agent submits the certified original of the SBE, Pay-in Slip and IDF together with supporting documents to Customs for goods clearance.
8. The importer requests for Inspection at the port once Customs Long room process has been completed. This is done either physically, documentary check and/or by x-ray scan for all loaded containers.
9. If scanning results conform to declaration, release is issued immediately. Any discrepancies e.g. undeclared goods noted, the container is directed to a re-check area for physical examination. Any undeclared goods are seized and subject to forfeiture with penalties imposed according to Customs Laws. Such action could also lead to possible prosecution.

9. Shipping Documents

Air freight – Original AWB, Supplier’s invoice(s) and Packing list(s) to accompany shipment.

Seafreight – Original OB/L, Supplier’s invoce(s) and Packing list(s) to be couriered to importer or his C&F Agent immediately after shipment of goods.

Regional Agreements

The Common Market for East and Southern Africa

The Common Market for East and Southern Africa (COMESA) has been operating, in one form or another, since 1981.  COMESA aims to promote economic integration via the removal of barriers to trade and investment among COMESA member states. Moreover, COMESA aims to advocate for infrastructure development, and development in science and technology. Economic integration is envisaged to progress from the Free Trade Area (FTA) to an economic monetary union. The FTA became operational on 1st November 2000 with nine participating countries initially. The nine member countries that are implementing zero tariffs are Egypt, Sudan, Djibouti, Malawi, Madagascar, Mauritius, Zambia and Zimbabwe.  However in January 2004, Burundi and Rwanda joined the FTA, bringing the total number of participating countries to eleven.  

The COMESA FTA is an agreement among members not to apply customs duties or charges on goods traded amongst themselves.  The eligible goods for duty-free treatment must meet the agreed upon Rules of Origin.  Members also agree to eliminate all non-tariff barriers to trade between them.

A COMSEA Certificate of Origin is required for each consignment of goods and is obtained from the Revenue Authority in respective member countries. 

The Southern Africa Development Community

The Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) aims to promote regional integration and sustainable development in the regional community.

Members of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), comprising 14 countries, signed a Trade Protocol, which calls for the implementation of a Free Trade Area.  Each country has negotiated two reduced tariff schedules.  One schedule is applicable only for South Africa, and another schedule for all other SADC members. Zambia's implementation of her offer, effective 30th April 2001, is provided to those countries that provide Zambia with the SADC reduced tariff schedule. 

The reduction of tariffs to South Africa provide for delayed liberalization, while the schedule to other members provide for broader and faster access to the South Africa market.  The tariff schedule applicable to SADC members, with the exception of South Africa, has three categories.  Category A products are those products which go to zero-duty immediately upon implementation.  The tariff for Category B products gradually goes down to zero-duty over a period of eight years, and the tariff of Category C products reaches zero-duty twelve years after implementation.  Category C products are known as sensitive products, and include for Zambia meat and dairy products, tea, some flours, raw sugar, cement, textiles and clothing, and motor vehicles.

Plans are currently underway to establish a Free Trade Agreement by 2008, and a SADC Customs Union by 2010.

A SADC Certificate of Origin is required for each consignment of goods and is obtained from the Revenue Authority.

Exporting from Asia can be tricky as auto exporters and car exporters are dime a dozen. The stereotype of used car salesman is universal and based on some truth. With the advent of Internet the crooks have come out of the woodworks to separate the innocent from their money, Thailand is no exception. Caveat emptor - buyer beware - maxim has been heeded by businessmen since the time of the Ancients but it is most relevant when all it takes is a DSL modem, a nerdy kit with some HTML skills to put together a website, some Images (Pics) taken at your competitor's lots and you are in business. We have seen a parade of newbie auto exporters come in, offer great deals for a year or so perpetrating an elaborate Ponzi scheme and then disappear with millions of dollars of their customers very hard earned money. Will you trust a company that has been in business for 1 year or one that has been in business for 100 years and is well respected not only all over Asia but also beyond Asian boundaries. If someone offers you a deal that sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Not all new entrants are crooks but there are some who in their quest for the fast buck wants to cut corners at the expense of the customer. When you work with Soni you have the peace of mind to know that we have been voted Thailand's most trusted dealership and Thailand's most trusted auto exporter five years in a row and it is for this reason that we have over 80% of the auto exporting market share in Thailand.
