Quick answer: importing a used Mercedes C-Class into Tanzania lands at roughly $19,800–$39,800 all-in — FOB China $14,000–$30,000 plus freight
Quick answer: importing a used Mercedes C-Class into Tanzania lands at roughly $19,800–$39,800 all-in — FOB China $14,000–$30,000 plus freight, 25%+ import duty and clearance.
FOB price: $14,000–$30,000 depending on year and mileage.
Landed cost: $19,800–$39,800 = FOB + ocean freight (~$1,800) + 25%+ import duty + port clearance.
Import duty: expect 25%+ import duty, usually calculated on the CIF value rather than the invoice price. Ask us for a worked CIF breakdown for the exact car.
Age limit: Tanzania caps imported used cars at 10 years from first registration — we check the exact plate/registration date before quoting.
Steering side — read this first: Tanzania drives on the left and requires right-hand drive (RHD). Most cars sourced from China are LHD, so for RHD markets we source genuine RHD units (common for Japanese and British-market models) or arrange a compliant RHD conversion before export.
Clearance port: cars clear at Dar es Salaam.
Our C-Class stock: 49 units, model years 2014–2025, 6,000–190,000 km, 1.5T 204PS L4. Send the target year and quantity on WhatsApp for a confirmed quote.
