What are you bringing in?
Engine

Duty, VAT and surtax come toUS$2,751.25
Duty, 25%US$1,550.00
VAT, 15.5% of value and dutyUS$1,201.25
Landed cost, the car includedUS$8,951.25
How it is worked out
  1. Duty is charged on the value: cost, insurance and freight to the border.
  2. VAT is charged on the value plus the duty, and never on the surtax.
  3. Surtax is added last, on a passenger vehicle more than five years old. A pick-up never pays it.
What this leaves outYour real cost can be higher, never lower.
  • Port and clearing charges, and the agent's fee.
  • Registration, number plates and insurance.
  • The SUV rate is an estimate; ZIMRA sets it by the vehicle's tariff heading.
