- Who can import: Individuals and companies may import; a National Revenue Authority TIN is required and a licensed clearing agent files the declaration
- Pre-shipment inspection: ECTN (arranged by the exporter in China)
- Left-hand drive only: the NRA 2022 Tax Guide §3.11 lists right-hand-drive vehicles as prohibited imports; the Finance Act 2011 clause in the consolidated Customs Act charged a 20% CIF surcharge instead; no official text for 'banned since 2014' (estimate), confirm in writing with the SLRSA / NRA before the first order
- No legal age limit on used cars; the '30% duty over 10 years' could not be found in the Finance Acts 2013–2026 (estimate); the Finance Act 2025 caps only duty-free donated used vehicles at 5 years
