Duty & Tax

Age-based environmental levy

Clearance Port

Dar es Salaam (transit)

Rwanda is a landlocked market with an environmental angle: the levy rewards newer, cleaner cars, which shapes what is worth importing.

Age-based environmental levy

Beyond duty, an age-based environmental levy means older units cost more to enter. Right-hand drive is required and documents must be complete before release.

The corridor

Rwanda-bound cars generally clear at Dar es Salaam and transit overland to Kigali, so the same transit discipline as its neighbours applies.

Choosing

Compact SUVs and practical saloons suit Rwandan roads, and newer units clear more cheaply. Tell us the model and we will quote via Dar to Kigali.
