Car Shipping Kadoma
Ship Your Car To Or From Kadoma, Zimbabwe
Kadoma is a city which is located in the Kadoma district in Mashonaland West Province and it’s one of the 10 administrative provinces in Zimbabwe. The location of the city is approximately 166 km by road southwest of the national capital city of Harare.
If you intend on moving to Kadoma for a short or long period of time, you might definitely want to explore the surroundings. This is why you might want to have your personal vehicle with you as public transportation is rather scarce anyways. That’s why you need to ensure that you are aware of the import regulations. Zimbabwe is actually a landlocked country and shipping your car here will require you to ship it to the closest seaport in Mozambique and get it here with a land transport. Even though there are river ports and harbors in Harare, it’s better to go for land transportation because it’s faster.
In any case, if you want to speed up the entire process and make it seamless, working with an international transport company like the A1 Auto Transport service is definitely going to help you out. Now, as per the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority, you have to file a Form 47 which is basically the ZIMRA Custom Declaration Form which requires the important information about the vehicle. Furthermore, you can only import right-hand drive vehicles and they are all charged a fixed custom duty of 40% and 25% surcharge if the car is older than 5 years.

Affordable Shipping Methods
Now, there are two shipping methods when it comes to shipping a car to Zimbabwe. With this in mind, it’s important to pick between RORO shipping and container shipping.
RORO shipping stands for Roll-on/Roll-off shipping and it’s the most affordable sea freight way to get a car imported. However, you have to empty it out entirely and leave nothing but the car jack, car mats and the spare tire inside. You can’t bring any personal belongings and it leaves your vehicle exposed to the elements throughout the entire time.
Container shipping is more expensive and slower but it provides you with a considerable layer of protection. The sealed container can be filled with all sorts of personal belongings. If you need any further information you can freely contact the Embassy of the Republic of Zimbabwe in Washington, D.C.
