How long does it take to import a vehicle into Zimbabwe?
From South Africa, 8 days. From Japan, the UK, Thailand or China, about 60 days, because those move by sea through Dar es Salaam, Walvis Bay or Durban. We give you a date at quote stage and keep you updated at each border stage.
Can Eddy Customs buy the vehicle on my behalf?
Yes — it is our core service. You give us the make, model, budget and timeline; we identify the supplier, negotiate, purchase, ship, clear and deliver. You deal with us throughout rather than wiring money to an overseas seller you cannot verify.
Which border posts do you clear through?
Beitbridge, Chirundu, Kariba, Plumtree, Kazungula and Victoria Falls. We prepare the documentation in advance so your load is not sitting at the post waiting on paperwork.
Do you only import cars?
No. We import trucks and buses (HOWO, Shacman, FAW, Yutong), earthmoving and mining plant, farming equipment, industrial machinery, and lubricants and service kits — alongside private and commercial vehicles.
What deposit do you require?
A deposit is required to begin procurement, with the balance payable on delivery. The exact percentage depends on whether you are buying as an individual, a company, or under a civil-servant or returning-resident rebate — call us and we will confirm your figure.
Where are you based?
Our head office is at 54 Le Roux Dr, Hillside, Harare. We also run border operations at Beitbridge and Musina, and have a presence in Cape Town and Durban. Call +263 713 113 618 or message us on WhatsApp.
