Quick answer
Yes, and 2026 taxes are favourable. Under the 2026 Finance Law, battery-electric cars and plug-in hybrids are exempt from customs duty and consumption tax, VAT falls from 19% to 7%, and the first-registration fee is halved (WMC, 2026-02-24). Whether an individual can import directly, and which permits apply, is decided by Tunisian customs — check with them or a licensed customs broker before you order.

Who can import a car from China into Tunisia?
Our sources do not say whether a private buyer can clear a car in their own name, or whether an annual quota applies. A La Presse article of 2025-11-06 reported that few Tunisians buy directly in China and suggested going through authorised importers. That is a press view, not an official rule. Ask customs or a licensed broker who must appear as importer before you sign.
Duty, consumption tax and VAT in 2026
The 2026 Finance Law exempts battery-electric cars and plug-in hybrids from customs duty and consumption tax, and cuts VAT to 7% (WMC, 2026-02-24). Ask your broker to confirm that your exact version falls in the exempt category, especially for a plug-in hybrid or range-extender. Other fees on arrival are not in our sources, so ask for a full estimate before you pay the balance.
How an order works
- Choose model, version and colour; ask which charging inlet the export version has (China-market cars use GB/T).
- Get a quote from the licensed Chinese export company named in the contract.
- Ask a Tunisian broker who may import the car and which permits you need.
- Sign the contract. Nothing is paid before it is signed, and payment goes only to the company account on the invoice.
- The exporter declares the car in China and books sea freight. We do not guarantee a delivery date.
- The broker clears the car; you pay the import taxes and the car is delivered to your door (DAP).
