What Zimbabwe dealers should know
Cars land at Durban, Beira or Dar es Salaam and travel inland under bond — we quote the sea leg and your agent handles transit.
There is no fixed age cap, but older vehicles attract higher duty and surtax; confirm current rates with your clearing agent.
Besides whole cars, our Zimbabwe partners buy used and new parts from Japan — bumpers, glass, wheels — consolidated in one container.

Zimbabwe FAQ
How do Japanese cars reach Zimbabwe?
By sea to Durban, Beira or Dar es Salaam, then inland to Harare under bond. Sea transit plus inland transport is typically 45–60 days.
Can you source spare parts as well as cars?
Yes. We buy used and new parts in Japan — body panels, glass, wheels, lights — and consolidate them with vehicles in a shared container to keep freight per item low.
Is there a minimum order?
No. Most partners start with a single trial unit to check the numbers, then order regularly.
How does payment work?
You pay a deposit of 10% of your maximum bid by T/T before we bid. After a win, the balance is paid against an invoice from MOBIC Co., Ltd. We never request payment to personal accounts.
Do you deliver to the door or clear customs?
No. We deliver to your destination port by RoRo or container. Customs clearance and inland delivery are handled by you or your clearing agent.
