COMESA Trade Benefits for Madagascar
How regional trade reduces vehicle costs
Under COMESA, vehicles under 10 years from member states qualify for 0% import duty. Mauritius, with its established Japanese vehicle import infrastructure, is the primary source for COMESA-preferential vehicles. Seychelles, Comoros, and Zambia also qualify.
Non-COMESA imports face duties of 0-30% depending on vehicle type and origin, making regional sourcing significantly more attractive. The 20% TVA applies to all imports regardless of origin.
Buying Guide
Market recommendations
Buy a used Japanese vehicle from Mauritius dealers under COMESA 0% duty. Toyota, Honda, and Nissan are popular for their reliability and established service networks throughout Madagascar.
Avoid importing from distant non-COMESA markets given the combination of duties (up to 30%) and logistical costs.
