Este carro pode entrar?

⛔ Só volante à direita: carros do mercado chinês (esquerda) não podem ser importados — precisa da versão RHD
• Usados só dos EUA / Canadá (USMCA); usados chineses não entram — novos sim
• Quem pode importar: New cars: the importer (individual or company) must hold an NRCS Letter of Authority before clearance and registration; used passenger cars are closed to commercial import and only returning residents, immigrants, inheritance, racing / vintage cases may apply for an ITAC permit
• Left-hand-drive cars have not been importable since 2004, so a China-spec LHD car cannot be registered in South Africa; right-hand drive only
• Commercial import of used passenger cars is prohibited; the narrow exemptions need an ITAC permit plus an NRCS LOA and the car may not be resold (lock-in per the ITAC permit conditions)
• BEVs are inside the ad valorem excise (Schedule 1 Part 2B); the rate slides with the B value up to 30%, and VAT is charged on customs value plus 10% plus all duties

South Africa is right-hand-drive only: a China-spec LHD car cannot be registered. Used passenger cars are closed to commercial import; only returning residents, immigrants and similar ITAC-permit cases can bring one in. New cars pay 25% duty (BEVs too), plus a sliding ad valorem excise (B = 1.15 x customs value + duty, rate = 0.00003 x B - 0.75%, capped at 30%; about 14.4% on a USD 20,000 car, charged on ICE and BEV alike), and 15% VAT on 1.10 x customs value + duty + excise; new ICE cars also pay a CO2 levy (BEV 0). The excise, VAT top-up and CO2 lines here are estimated for one USD 20,000 car at ZAR 18 per USD and are marked as estimates. An NRCS Letter of Authority is needed before clearance; main port Durban.
