Clearance Port

Dar es Salaam

Tanzania is a market with a clear age line, and the buyers who plan inside it find the process predictable from Dar es Salaam inland.

The age line

Tanzania limits used-vehicle age from first registration and assesses duty and VAT on value, with excise by engine size. Right-hand drive is required and standards checks apply before release.

Dar and beyond

Dar es Salaam is the gateway and also a launch point for landlocked neighbours, so the same port serves both local and transit demand. We prepare documents for whichever applies to you.

Choosing

Compact SUVs and small-engine saloons sell best, with hybrids gaining in urban Dar. Right-hand drive; send us the model and we will quote the landed total.
