Import car from UK to Mauritius

You can get a concession as a returning resident and the excise duty will be 15%. However when I enquired about this in May 2010 when I visited Mauritius, customs told me that you cannot import a car which is more than 3 years old. So I doubt they will accept your toyoya since it's 7 years old. Note that the vehicle will be valued once it gets to Mauritius and 15% excise duty will be levied on it and 15% VAT will be applicable on the total as well.

I dont think it's fair.As a citizen of mauritius ,when you are going back to your homeland and to invest more money into the country,you should be exempt from any car taxes

I want to send my car Vauxhall Zafira to Mauritius, how much will it cost?

Well it's a little hard to price it accurately but I would say in the region of £2,500 - £3,500. This is going by the cost of a Nissan Micra costing £2,000+. Some things that will drive the quote up or down are things like the time it takes to ship, some can take 4 weeks others up to 12 weeks. Insurance that will cover your car in case it is damaged in transit etc
