Import Knowledge
Everything you need to know about importing Japanese vehicles to Southern Africa.

From the IC2 Application Form to the BURS clearance window, we walk you through every step required to legally import your vehicle into Botswana.
Singapore vehicles are younger and better documented, but Japan offers far greater selection and lower prices. Here is how to decide which source is right for you.

We source vehicles directly from Japan and Singapore auctions and ship them to the Durban Port ourselves. This means by the time you enquire, the vehicle is already in South Africa — eliminating the typical 24–34 day wait for ocean freight from Japan. We then arrange overland car carrier transport to your destination country.
No. This is illegal. Unregistered imported vehicles cannot be driven on South African roads under any legal framework. Attempting this risks vehicle impoundment, fines of R3,000–R6,000+, and criminal charges. We always use licensed car carrier trucks for overland transport — it is the only legal and insured method.
Yes — significantly. In Zimbabwe, a full BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) attracts only 25% customs duty versus 80–120% for ICE vehicles. On a R150,000 CIF vehicle, this difference translates to approximately R130,000 in savings on the total landed cost. Use our Import Calculator to see the exact breakdown for your destination country.
No. This is a critical distinction. The 2025 Zimbabwe EV incentive applies exclusively to full Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) with no combustion engine. Hybrids — including plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) — are classified with ICE vehicles for duty purposes in Zimbabwe and attract 40% customs duty plus 10% excise duty.
