Is there any way to bring back cars from abroad?

cars more than 4 years old are not allowed to enter mauritius. Visit www.mra.mu

Hi,

According to http://www.mra.mu/index.php/faq/custom#7 :
* The car should be between 18 months and 48 months old
* You'll need to get a fair chunk of paperwork sorted out
* You may need to pay import duty

You should probably read up on vehicle import duties - since the duty can be up to 100% it's fairly important.  If you fall under the category of returning resident (it sounds like you might), then you may be able to buy or import 1 car and not pay most of the duty on it.

Details here: http://www.mra.mu/index.php/importexpor … r-vehicles

Things to keep in mind when importing a car as a returning resident:
* You need to buy or import a car within 6 month of returning to qualify for the duty exemption
* You're limited to one car per married couple
* You can only apply for this once in your life
* If you are importing a car, make sure you can find parts for it Mauritius - not all cars exist here
* If you sell the car within 4 years you'll have to pay for some/all of the duty
* You can also buy a car here and get the discount on the duty

Good luck on your return to Mauritius!

Cheers,

Dan.
