Can this car get in?
- • GSA public register of homologated models ↗
- • The earlier GSA framework sets a 15-year age limit; its application during the suspension needs confirmation
- • Who can import: Individuals and companies can import; clearance needs a TIN
- • Pre-shipment inspection: PVoC pre-shipment inspection for imported used vehicles was suspended on 2026-10-05. GSA will announce a new implementation date.
- ⚠ GSA confirmation is needed on how the earlier age, condition and importer-registration requirements apply during the suspension. Do not assume all requirements have been cancelled.
- • New-model homologation is separate from inspection of individual used vehicles. This suspension notice does not announce cancellation of new-model homologation.
- • The earlier framework lists flood or fire damage, chassis or safety-cage damage, assembly from spare parts and a km/h speedometer. Check each vehicle individually.
- • The importer and local clearing agent should confirm the applicable formalities before ordering and shipment.
- • Age penalty 5–50% for 10–15-year-old cars

- Electric passenger cars (tariff line 8703801900) pay 20% import duty; electric buses (heading 8702) 10%. The 8-year waiver in the 2024 budget applies only to EVs for public transport (buses, tro-tros, taxi sedans) and to SKD / CKD kits of registered EV assemblers, and explicitly excludes fully built cars for personal use; the enabling legislative instrument was never passed, and as reported in October 2024 only government-imported electric buses were actually exempt ↗ official 2026-09-20

- The earlier GSA notice 26/09 (2026-08-14) sets out new-model homologation, importer registration, and used-vehicle age and condition requirements.
