Import rules and taxes

The main things to know for Nepal:

  • No strict age limit on imported vehicles
  • Taxes are high and stacked (customs + excise + VAT + road fee) — combined duties can be high relative to CIF value; current rates must be checked before quoting
  • Electric vehicles receive major tax incentives, making them far cheaper
  • Right-hand drive required, matching Japan
  • A Letter of Credit from a Nepali bank and a PAN certificate are needed

Best models for Nepal

Hybrids dominate: the Toyota Prius, Aqua and Corolla, plus the Nissan Note e-Power. Electric models are growing fast thanks to the lower duty. Compact, efficient cars give the best total value after taxes.

Shipping and transit

As Nepal is landlocked, cars are shipped to Kolkata Port in India and then transported by road to the Birgunj border. We prepare every document and coordinate the route for you.
