Importers of second-hand light vehicles that are 10-years-old or more can now do so up to the end of the month, after which the window will be shut.
Statutory Instrument 89 of 2021 prohibits vehicle imports that are more than 10 years from the date of manufacture without a special licence.
The initial transitional period ran from April 22 to May 31, 2021.
However, in a statement on Wednesday, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce said: “Following the promulgation of Statutory Instrument 89 of 2021 on the importation of second-hand cars that are more than more than 10 years old, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry in collaboration with Zimra is extending the administrative transitional period up to 30 June 2021.
“This has been done to allow clearance and processing of outstanding vehicles purchased prior to the gazetting of SI 89 of 2021.”
