Used Car Import Guide for the Democratic Republic of the Congo (2026)

In 2026, when importing used cars from China to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, except for qualified agricultural, forestry, and mining tractors and collector vehicles, most used vehicles must not exceed 15 years from the date of first registration. Each imported used car must be provided with a technical inspection certificate from the country of origin, the original or a certified copy of the vehicle registration certificate, and legally authenticated transfer documents. All cargo shipped by sea to the Democratic Republic of the Congo generally requires a FERI electronic cargo tracking note. As of October 1, 2025, applying for a FERI generally requires the OGEFREM shipper subscription card number. Whether OCC/BV pre-shipment inspection is exempted must be confirmed in writing on a shipment-by-shipment basis according to the vehicle category, FOB value, first registration status, and current system requirements. Tariffs are differentiated by TEC subheading and power type. The benchmark tariff for fuel-powered and hybrid passenger vehicles is 20%. For pure electric passenger vehicles, the industry practice is 0% tariff and VAT, but the excise tax exemption must be confirmed in writing with DGDA on a shipment-by-shipment basis.
