Algeria Duty-Free Import of 10,000 Automotive Units

On August 6, multiple sources reported that an interministerial decree signed by various ministries of Algeria introduces conditions for Algeria Duty-Free Import of 10,000 units for the automotive sector. The decree applies specifically to vehicles designed for the transport of 10 or more people. It will comprise vehicles imported in a finished state, vehicles imported in unassembled form (CKD/SKD collections), and spare parts and components that make up the assembly kits. Sales of these vehicles are also exempt from Value Added Tax (VAT) and the tax applied to the sale of vehicles. The measure therefore covers both vehicle imports and associated assembly components under the stated conditions.
