MOTOR VEHICLES: SOUTH AFRICAN CITIZENS
No concession exists for returning South African Nationals/Permanent
Resident holders (including persons normally resident in the Republic
who go abroad to work or study) to import a motor vehicle without payment
of Customs duty.
The vehicle (if second-hand) will also be subject to an import permit
form the Directorate: Import & Export Control, Pretoria and a Letter
of Authority (LoA) from the South African Bureau of Standards.
Returning residents are cautioned not to assume that import permits will
be issued automatically as long as they undertake to pay the applicable
duties. For the necessary application forms, see 'Documents Required'.
The import duties on motor vehicles are at present as follows:
- Customs duty: 40%
- Ad-Valorem Customs duty: on a sliding scale with a maximum of 20%
Please consult 'Import duties on motor vehicle' to see how these duties
are calculated.
