Prospective second-hand motor vehicle buyers are set to pay ZAR2 310.00 (US$145) for a pre-export inspection of their vehicles on top of duty, following new government regulations.
Zimbabwe’s Ministry of Industry and Commerce has to this effect appointed EAA Company Limited (EAA) as an inspection company for a Pre-shipment Verification of Conformity (PVoC) program for the roadworthiness of used vehicles exported to Zimbabwe.
The verification program is in effect from the 1st of June 2022 with each inspection pegged at ZAR2 310.00 plus VAT (Including tax and Government administration fee).
“All used vehicles arriving in Zimbabwe will require an EAA certificate of conformity (COC) to comply with import regulations on arrival at the Zimbabwe border (unless shipping documentation verifies the vehicle was shipped prior to the inspection commencement date of 1st of June 2022),” reads an EAA memo.
“Pre-shipment inspections will commence in the following countries from the 1st of June 2022: Japan, United Kingdom, Singapore, South Africa and United Arab Emirates.”
EAA is a Company of Japanese origin with a core business of pre-shipment inspection of motor vehicles.
Information on its website read: “We have an in-depth knowledge of the motor vehicle inspection industry and are equipped with technology that provides high quality and efficient inspection services. We have inspection facilities in all the major ports of Japan. In particular our main sites service Yokohama (Tokyo Bay), Kawasaki, Kisarazu, Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe and Kita-Kyusyu. We are also equipped to provide pre-export inspection services from other global export markets.” Zim Morning Post

Inspection is ok but is it worth for those fully roadworthy vehicles to be driven on our unworthy and unsafe roads…I think we need quality roads for quality vehicles then we are safe.
Carlosville Murekachiro Say it again December driving a stupid police half of his cracked boots inside a pothole asking me why driving with a faulty spare wheel.😅😅😅
Carlosville Murekachiro True that
Haibo, where they being registered without roadworthy inspection all these yrs

Hahaha that price for such cars
Ingotii pane vakuru wana mukoto wekudya nawo.
In zimbabwe you find cars on the road even with 3 wheels instead of 4 ,kkk now they want to inspect imports
Another scandal! Some countries offer certificates of roadworthiness, like mot in UK, so why would a car with a current valid mot be inspected again ,why not utilise such certificates? Just wondering
They must first inspect government vehicles especially police. No person can import a useless car for what reason
Donald Moyo nhai nhai
Donald Moyo ah a lot of cars Where breaking down before they even got to zim and abandoned in neighbouring countries. The idea is noble.

What happens when the vehicle fails at the point of entry?
Ian Tendai BaSasha they said Pre-export, the unit is assessed when you are about to purchase. if it fails they won’t ship it or process your invoice

Uk MoT surely is enough.
Why not do the inspections in Zimbabwe were local companies could benefit from the repair work. Who comes up with these policy’s.
Marcus Lake Ascott Thank you for seeing the trick! How did that company get the job and who are they? Who complained about vehicles worthiness though? Theft!
Marcus Lake Ascott basa re VID ndereyi 🤔🤔🤔
Marcus Lake Ascott well thought out. Brilliant suggestion.
Marcus Lake Ascott You can say that again. No motor vehicle in UK is permitted to drive without MOT certificate. I have seen buses driving side ways in Zimbabwe who certified it. Corruption to the highest level.
Iyoyi nyaya yekuti appointed mu brain mangu munobva matoti corruption yatotanga tells us more about EAA ndeyani, yakawana sei tender iyoyi how much is it costing the Ministry ndozvakakosha zwacho
Joseph Daka : Ndo panenyaya yose! The rest is just gib. How did they get the tender? When? How is this so fast? Why export badly needed jobs?
Wrong focus as usual by our government. Instead of fixing the roads that’s are causing our vehicles to endlessly break down, they come up with this .. nonsense. They’ve already banned importation of vehicles older than 10 yrs so is this ‘inspection’ for the newer vehicles or they’re lifting the 10yr embargo ?
Start by inspecting the ones driven in Zim
