Procedures And Regulations

You require an import permit before you can ship your vehicles to Windhoek, Namibia. You must submit this, the necessary paperwork, and your passport to the Customs. The officials will release your ride only after thoroughly checking the papers submitted, followed by information verification. Once they receive confirmation, you can take your ride to Namibia. During release, they provide the Entry Bill.

To obtain the vehicle license, you must submit the Entry Bill adequately stamped by the customs at the Motor Vehicles Department. If there is a delay in getting the legal document from Customs, you can provide provisional payment and release the vehicle. It involves 16.5% taxes and 20% duties. Upon determining the situation, you will get a refund for the payment. Importing a single auto duty-free vehicle is allowed per family with 15% associated taxes. For two years after the import, you cannot sell your car. Temporary residents, however, do not require a trade-in permit. Upon re-export within the year, you will fall under the category.
