Exporting a vehicle to Zim

[JamesC]

Can someone perhaps shed some light on the costs and procedures on the Zim side?

Thanks

James LOTS of Japanese imports in Zim and Bots.

Just so much cheaper to buy one of these imports than to even consider buying in SA, nevermind the costs to then export it to Zim.


If it is a sentimental issue, it should be easy enough to do the export.

But forget about ever bringing it back to SA !!

Hi James I have pel who buys up landies in zim and then takes them to joburg restore them and sells them off, I will chat to him and see what he says.
He lives in Cape town but his dad is up in jozzie where there business is,they import nuts and beans from zim.

Thanks roofer. That would me appreciated! Need to export two landies actually to a hunting concession...don't want to blow the toyo bubble, but actually that is the only vehicle, still, that can take the punch...

Would be interesting to know what you must do. Have you asked your local vehicle licensing office yet? What I once heard was that it must have police clearance and it must have microdots.

[JamesC]

Piet, the issue is not on this side. Company on PTA charges R2650 and they get it export ready with everything that is required including microdot and clearance.

What I am after is info on the Zim side. I can see on the GOV websites that there is a whole host of taxes payable but I need to understand what a landy of let's say R60k would end up costing me landed in Zim.

See we have a lot of Zim members, lets home one of them can answer you.
