سيارات BMW المستعملة من الصين إلى Zimbabwe — خدمة التصدير 2026

We will not do it without written confirmation first, and here is why. Left-hand drive was barred from first-time registration by SI 154 of 2010. That prohibition was challenged in the High Court and later reporting says it was struck down, so the legal position is genuinely contested — while importers on the ground still treat LHD as effectively barred. Our stock is left-hand drive. We are not going to resolve a contested question with your money, so we require written confirmation from ZIMRA and the Vehicle Inspection Department that your specific unit can be registered before we accept an order.

40% import duty on ordinary passenger cars, plus a 35% surtax for vehicles more than five years old, plus 15% VAT — stacked, that is on the order of 90% of CIF before freight. Two caveats we would rather state than hide: ZIMRA's own worked example implies a 35% surtax while several import guides still publish 25%; and the duty rate varies by vehicle class, with reports of up to 60% for SUVs and double cabs and a reduced 25% for full EVs from 1 January 2025. We confirm the class rate for your exact model with a ZIMRA clearing agent before quoting a landed price.

A CBCA (Consignment Based Conformity Assessment) Certificate of Conformity, obtained pre-shipment from an authorised body — Cotecna, Bureau Veritas, EAA, SAZ, Intertek or WSCT. The used-vehicle programme has applied since 1 June 2022 under SI 132 of 2015. Arriving without a pre-shipment CoC means destination inspection plus a penalty, which costs more and takes longer than doing it at the Shanghai end.

Yes — second-hand vehicles must be under 10 years old from the date of manufacture. This comes from SI 54 of 2024, and the clock does not stop at the port: the vehicle must still be under 10 years when ZIMRA clearance is completed, not merely when it was loaded. Limited exemptions exist under SI 172 and SI 111 of 2024 for deceased estates, returning residents, diplomats, immigrants and 25-year-plus classics. We verify the manufacture date against the clearance date before quoting.
