Ship Car To Kigali

Rwanda (RWA)

Ship Car To Kigali

Car Shipping Kigali

This is the capital of Rwanda and the country’s largest city. It is located near the geographic center of the region and it is the economic as well as cultural and transport hub of the country since its independence in 1962. Ever since the year 2010, this country has been using an integrated vehicle registration system along with other East African Countries which allows people to take advantage of a simplified registration procedure that is all and the same for everyone. There is an exemption on the import duty for residents of the area who are returning to the country. NGOs as well as government aid workers and diplomats can also take advantage of duty exemptions.

There is no age limit for the vehicles that are brought into the country but they must be with a left-sided steering wheel and this is mandatory. Interestingly enough, the motors which are most common in the country are Toyotas and there are plenty of spare parts for them in case you need a repair. You can find parts for other brands as well but they might be delivered from somewhere else in case you need servicing in the country.

The roads of the country are rather rough compared to U.S. and European standards. Some of them are paved but most of them are made out of dirt and unpaved. This is why it’s recommended to use a four-wheel drive. To know more about driving in Rwanda, you will need to connect with an experienced shipping service such as A1 Auto Transport service.

Taxes and documents

two people discussing financial reports

What follows is information on the taxes to pay and the documents to submit such that you can get your four-wheeler imported into Rwanda.

  • Lading bill and an invoice of purchase.
  • Origin Certificate.
  • Registration and Title proof.
  • Driver’s license and international insurance policy.
  • Visa or a passport.

For any further questions and visa categories it is preferable to contact the Embassy of Rwanda. You should be aware that UK and USA citizens don’t need visas but they need a certificate stating that they are not suffering from Yellow Fever.

Taxes

The taxes are as follows:

  • Customs duty – 24%
  • Withholding tax – 5%
  • Tax of consumption – it may vary depending on the vehicle.
  • Customs duty – 24%
  • VAT – 18%

Vehicle delivery containers are often used because of how convenient they are when additional items need to be transported alongside a vehicle. Since there is no restriction on how else the unused space in the container can be put to use this is entirely feasible. I know this raises some eyebrows about the price tag but I am confident you will agree it is justified. You and a friend can split the cost between a 20- or 40-foot container depending on your needs.

Roll On/Roll Off shifting entails the placing of a motor onto a shipping deck onto its actual wheels. The vehicle is driven on the ship and then driven off it once it arrives at the destination. This is the most preferable way of transportation because it is the cheapest.

There are a lot of options for auto transport these days, which surprisingly makes it harder to find a good company. I received more than 10 offers to ship my car, but I couldn’t decide on any of them... Fortunately, I made the right choice with A1 Auto Transport.
