If you want to learn more about customs duties and taxes on importing motor vehicles into Botswana, you can get loads of information from the Botswana Unified Revenue Service (BURS) website.
To see the tax rates of different motor vehicles, see this PDF file.
Although not related to this blog’s subject matter, it is worth mentioning that the site also offers an interesting feature – the Tax Calculator where you can conveniently compute your income tax, whether you are a resident or non-resident of the country.
how much is the duty for a 4.5 ton truck to Zimbabwe?
I have tried to follow the links in this article, but none of them seem to be working.
Is there any other site where I can see the tax rates on the different vehicles? Or is there anyone who downloaded a copy, that can e-mail it to me?
Thanks in advance!
The BURS website does not exist – in fact, there is no http://www.burs.org.bw in existence.
Their one number in Gaborone, 3868000, rings until it cuts out. Their other number, 3638888, is out of service.
It smells like a fly-by-night operation that has flown by night!
Works just fine at the moment:

Sorry, the previous BURS homepage URL imbedded in this post has been changed. You may use http://www.burs.org.bw/ instead.
Thanks!
I want to bring in a used car from the usa cost price $8 000 includes shipping to walvis bay. Could someone advise how much tax i could pay clearing my car
I just brought a car into Botswana from UK via Walvis Bay.
I used http://namauto.com/ to receive the vehicle and drive it through to Maun.
Then I used Cargo Giants, Maun to do the clearing and registering of the vehicle. Very easy and painless. Speak to Gago on 71573018.
Duties and taxes ex-USA may vary but I paid about 36% on the value of UK invoices (vehicle + shipping).

You will pay 38%, of the cost of the vehicle and shipping if the vehicle is from outside the SADAC region, for duty into Botswana,
Nearly…..
26 – 28 % plus 12 percent VAT. Not 38 % though, as the vat is only on the duty
i.e. 26-28% vehicle’s duty X 1.12 vat. = total
