RALLY GUIDE
8 Import of Vehicles and Spare Parts 8.1 Vehicle Registration and Licensing Vehicles temporarily imported into Tanzania are not required to be registered, provided they are re-exported before the expiry of the Carnet de Passage, the Insurance Bond or the time limit for validity of the cash deposit. If you are temporarily importing your car from a PTA country, you need to obtain a ‘COMESA YELLOW CARD’ from your local insurance agent. This will enable you to drive your car in Tanzania for a specified period of time. PTA Countries – Angola, Botswana, Burundi, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, Somalia, South Africa, Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zaire, Zambia, Zimbabwe. 8.2 Vehicle Parts and Importation All vehicles and spare parts, temporarily imported into Tanzania, must be guaranteed against import duty and taxes (except Kenya and Uganda – see below). There are three ways in which this can be done. i) AIT/FIA Carnet de Passage This document allows the temporary importation of a vehicle and any spare parts declared on related documents. It guarantees the payment of import duties and taxes on the vehicle or spare parts, should you not re-export them. It is the most convenient way of temporarily importing a vehicle and spare parts. The original carnet and related documents must be presented to Customs at the port of entry and again at the port of exit. The Carnet de Passage is obtainable form your local ASN. ii) Insurance Bond This involves the execution of a customs bond with an insurance company. The Commissioner of Customs calculates the duty and taxes payable on the vehicle and spare parts. The importer pays a percentage of the duty and taxes payable, as a premium, to an insurance company, who thus becomes the guarantor.

RALLY GUIDE
The original bond must be presented to Customs at the port of exit, where it will be cancelled on re-exportation of the vehicle and spare parts. iii) Cash Deposit This involves the deposit of an amount of money, equivalent to the import duty and taxes payable on the vehicle and spare parts, which is refundable on re-exportation of the vehicle and spare parts. This method is not only very expensive, but also very time consuming. 8.3 Imports from Kenya and Uganda You need to obtain a letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, permitting temporary export, of a vehicle and spare parts, to Tanzania. When crossing the border you need to submit your Log book to the Tanzanian border post. You need to re-export your car within a week, from the same border post, in order to collect your logbook. Intervals more than a week are subject to a charge upwards of US $ 50.00 For custom Clearance assistance send all documents (Copies) to Rally HQ no later than the date of close of entries. 9 Helicopters
