Importing into Mozambique is very easy. There are no major restrictions, however you need arrange for a MOZ number through Intertek in Maputo to import your vehicle. Please see below for more info:

Recommended ports

Maputo is the most popular port, although some customers do choose Durban as shipping is a bit more frequent, although it will end up costing more. At present there is no car shipments to Beira or Nacala, although if you are making an order of two or more vehicles you may be able to ship there by container.

Why buy direct from Japan?

Many Mozambicans choose to buy directly from Japan because quite simply you will be getting a better quality vehicle, with a lower mileage at a cheaper price. Vehicles made in Japan often have the highest grade options fitted as standard. We estimate that when you add everything up you will be saving at least $1000 compared with a similar quality vehicle bought locally.
