Shipping Requirements.

If you want to import your vehicle to Madagascar, you are going to need to present the following documentation:

• Valid Driver’s License.
• International Insurance Policy.
• Original Purchase Invoice.
• Bill of Lading.
• Proof of ownership.
• Title deed.
• registration documents.

You also have to prepare the vehicle and you would need to:

• Empty the vehicle of gasoline and other inflammable liquids.
• Remove the battery of the car.
• Take out all of the personal items.
• Disable alarms.
• Remove accessories and personal items.

There are other regulations to be abided by and if you fail to do so this is going to result in higher expenses. They include:

• All automobiles have to be taxed based on the particular model, cost, year, make and upgrade of the car.
• The car would be charged 118% of the CIF value if it has been registered for less than one year.
• If registered under the name of the importer for at least a year the vehicle won’t be subjected to duties.

Shipping Methods.

There are two main ports of arrival in Madagascar – Toamasina and Mahajanga. There are other ports as well – in Toliara, Morondava and Antananarivo. Although air shipping is a valid option, it is too expensive and thus, not a preferred method. There are two common shipping methods available:

Roll-on and Roll-Off Service.

This is the fastest and the least expensive sea-freight shipping option. However, your vehicle would be subjected to the elements as it’s going to be constantly exposed to them. The vehicle is driven on the deck, secured in the parking bay and then driven off at the port in Madagascar. This is the cheapest way to ensure that your vehicle is shipped safely.

Container shipping.

This method is far more convenient if you have a lot of personal belongings as you can place them all within a 20ft or 40ft private container. That’s why it’s also more expensive and slower due to more checkups. However, it is safer as your personal goods and vehicle is sealed within the container, making it secure from pilferage and theft.

You have to know that not all of the roads are properly developed but there are a lot of them which are already paved which connect the major cities. If you need any further information you would have to contact the Embassy of Madagascar in Washington, D.C.
