Africa Markets

Import rules decide whether a truck is an asset or a problem at the port. We publish what we have verified for each market we serve, and we say clearly where a rule has not been confirmed.

Why we publish this

Most exporters will quote you any truck for any market. That is how buyers end up with a container sitting at a port that cannot be cleared. Publishing the limits costs us enquiries, and we would rather have fewer enquiries that can actually close.

How to use these pages

Check the age limit and the steering requirement against the unit you are considering before you ask for a quote. If a unit does not meet the rule, we will tell you when you enquire anyway, but doing the check first saves us both a round trip.

Rules shown on these pages reflect what we have verified from official sources and are for reference only. They change without notice. Final decisions rest with the destination customs authority and your clearing agent. TANAN does not guarantee customs clearance in any market.
