Can I import a China-market A3 into South Africa?
Importing used vehicles into South Africa generally requires an import permit from the International Trade Administration Commission (ITAC), and LHD vehicles are normally not registrable for road use. Confirm your case with ITAC and a clearing agent.
Transit and regional trade
South African ports also serve neighbouring markets. Some regional destinations drive on the right and accept LHD vehicles; for those, South Africa can be a transit point. Tell us the final destination and we will advise.
RHD requests
Most vehicles we export are LHD. RHD vehicles can be supplied on request depending on availability — ask sales about current options.
Import rules — age limits, conformity certificates, duties and fees — differ by country and change over time. Each market page lists what to check; always confirm current requirements with your customs broker or the relevant authority before ordering.
