Africa is a continent of diverse terrain, and here are the recommended Japanese used cars to use in Malawi, Mozambique, and Tanzania. The suggestions are made by tradecarview, Japan’s largest online marketplace for used cars. For Malawi, tradecarview recommends Nissan’s March, Elgrand, Sunny, Navara, and the Skyline GT-R. Toyota models would also fare well in Malawi’s climate, and the Altezza, Corolla Fielder, Hilux, Premio, and the Hiace Van are highly recommended. Other cars would also be great for the country, such as the Mitsubishi Pajero, Mercedes Benz E-Class and S-Class, Mazda Bongo Friendee, and Honda Step WGN. Imported vehicles from Japan would reach Malawi via the shipping destination ports of Dar es Salaam, Durban, and Maputo. Cars of any age may be imported into the country; however, if you’re importing a car that is older than nine years old, prepare to pay more taxes. The good news? No further road worthiness is inspection is needed. Cruising around Mozambique will be an enjoyable experience with the Suzuki Swift, but if a subcompact isn’t your thing and would prefer something more executive-looking, tradecarview lists the Audi A4. Too flashy? Why don’t you try the Mitsubishi Lancer Cedia, or how about the Toyota Corsa, Corolla Sedan, Mark II, or Corona Premio? If you want to bring your whole family (and the family pet) along, tradecarview suggests getting the Nissan Serena, Daihatsu Hijet Cargo, Nissan X-Trail, Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon, Toyota Grand Hiace, Toyota Harrier, Mitsubishi Pajero iO, and the Toyota Ipsum. Japanese used cars bound for Mozambique will be shipped to the Maputo port. While there is no age restriction for import cars, a road worthiness inspection is required. Intertek is the government-appointed company to provide pre-shipment inspection for all goods coming into Mozambique. When importing a car from Japan, customers are advised to apply for a MOZ number for their vehicles at the local Intertek office. After inspection, taxes and clearance charges will then be applied by the government. From the coast to the highlands, driving around hot and sunny Tanzania can be a breeze in these Japanese-used cars. Big, roomy cars such as SUVs, MPVs, station wagons, and vans are recommended: Nissan’s Terrano and Terrano Regulus; Toyota’s Landcruiser 70, Corolla Spacio, Alphard G, Harrier, Townace Noah, Voxy, and Ractis; Honda’s Airwave and Step WGN; BMW’s X5; and Mazda’s MPV. If you want things to be cozier, go for Toyota’s Progres or Altezza, Volkswagen’s Golf, or Nissan’s Bluebird Sylphy. If you want an even smaller car to make Tanzania’s vast landscape even bigger, tradecarview recommends the Honda Fit and the Daihatsu Sonica. Dar es Salaam or Mombasa are the shipping destination points for Tanzania. The age restriction for import cars is 10 years old from the year of manufacture. Up to thirty percent of the CIF value of damping fees is added to the duty taxes for older cars. Japan Auto Appraisal Institute inspection is required, or else the owner is fined—thirty percent of the vehicle’s CIF value. This information on recommended cars for Africa and import regulations is helpful especially if you’re thinking of buying pre-owned cars from Japan. Different countries have different import regulations, and it’s best if you do some research about the ins and outs of importing goods, especially Japanese used cars, to your country.
