Car import tax in Africa

Africa consists of 54 countries, each with its own laws on car imports. Some allow salvage cars, while others do not. Some limit the age of vehicles allowed to be imported, while others provide tax breaks on electric and hybrid vehicles. With such a wide range of laws and regulations, it would be impossible to list them all here. However, each individual country page we ship to has information on the import tax and the type of vehicles allowed to be imported.

You always have a choice of going with your own local import agent, or we can provide one in any of the destinations you choose to ship to. Destination charges and services are separate from our international car shipping service. Please contact us if you have any questions about the costs associated with transporting your cars from the USA to Africa.

Which vehicles are shipped to Africa?

Cars shipped to Africa are usually sourced from US car auctions. Auctions are popular due to the large volume of vehicles available, resulting in lower purchase costs and cheaper transportation rates from the auctions. However, these type of auctions are usually not available to the public, and require a wholesale or retail dealers license. Many international car buyers choose to go through US auto auction brokers, or apply for an auto dealers license themselves.

The most popular cars shipping from the USA to Africa are the Toyota Camry, Corolla, Sienna, Rav4, and the Tacoma, While Toyota may dominate most African markets, Hyundai, Ford and even Jeep are also popular cars to import to Africa.
