Dar es Salaam serves as the primary gateway for automotive imports into Tanzania, where right-hand drive (RHD) vehicles dominate the market. Total import taxes generally range from 55% to 75% of CIF for new cars, while used cars over 8 years face hefty age surcharges that can push total duties over 100%. Importers must strictly adhere to the TRA Used Motor Vehicle Valuation System for minimum customs value and obtain a mandatory TBS PVoC roadworthiness certificate prior to departure to avoid a 30% CIF penalty upon arrival.
