What it costs to bring a car or pick-up into Zimbabwe: duty, VAT at 15.5%, and surtax on a passenger car over five years old.

VAT, 15.5% of value and dutyUS$1,201.25
Landed cost, the car includedUS$8,951.25
How it is worked out
- Duty is charged on the value: cost, insurance and freight to the border.
- VAT is charged on the value plus the duty, and never on the surtax.
- 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.
