The Zimbabwean government has suspended duty on the importation of buses with public bus operators duly registered with the law of the land allowed to import not more than 20 buses per year.
Government on Tuesday gazetted Statutory Instrument 138 of 2022 suspending import duty for approved importers of buses.
The new regulations only apply to public bus operators duly registered in terms of Part III of the Road Motor Transportation Act (Chapter 13:15).
“IT is hereby notified that the Minister of Finance and Economic Development has, in terms of section 235 as read with section 120 of the Customs and Excise Act [Chapter 23:02], made the following regulations,” read the SI 138 of 2022.
“These regulations may be cited as the Customs and Excise (Suspension) (Amendment) Regulations, 2022 (No. 261).
“The Customs and Excise (Suspension) Regulations, 2003, published in Statutory Instrument 257 of 2003, are amended by the deletion of section 9HH and insertion of the following 9HH:
‘Suspension of duty on public service buses imported by approved importers’.
“(1) In this section ‘approved importer’ means a public bus operator duly registered in terms of Part III of the Road Motor Transportation Act [Chapter 13:15]; ‘public service bus’ means new buses of commodity code 8702.10.11 and 8702.90.11 being imported or removed from bond by an approved importer.
“(2) Customs duty shall be suspended on importation of public service buses imported by approved importers in terms of this section at a customs duty rate of zero per centum. (3) An approved importer shall be allowed to import not more than twenty (20) public service buses in any twelve-month period beginning 1st July, 2022.
“(4) The Secretary for Transport and Infrastructural Development shall, on a case-by-case basis, recommend to the Commissioner qualifying public service bus operators duly registered in terms of Part III of the Road Motor Transportation Act [Chapter 13:15).”

No future in transport industry ndipo patinoti smith anga akarongeka look at Salisbury United we use 2 cents per trip kuenda kubasa kune vanoziva not bvengebvenge yatiri kuona iyi 42 yrs chabuda hapana
A few months ago we were told that AVM/DAF bus company in Msasa, Harare was being co funded by govt and business people to resume operations. Now it seems you have reneged on those plans, or was it a dummy like you always do. It’s better to suffer for a season while you build a bus manufacturing plant locally than buying buses not suitable to our environment
people will invest and bring loads of buses,boom from nowhere you force them to join and lease them or operate under Zvupuko…..never,itai mega mazhet echidofo ayo….itai ka tione hanti ndimi mukutonga,run the transport industry tioneka……simple
Instead of finding ways to revive Dahmer.
