Last updated: August 2026
Import cars from China to Gabon with RoRo to Owendo/Libreville and clear duty guidance.
Gabon is a higher-income, fuel-rich Central African market where the purchasing power and road conditions differ from its neighbours. Luxury and mid-size SUVs from Chinese brands — GWM, Chery, BYD — are replacing legacy European and Japanese fleets, favoured for modern equipment and reasonable total ownership cost. Imports flow through the Port of Owendo at Libreville, with duty calculated on CIF value. Cargration serves both private buyers in Libreville and operators across the forestry, logistics, and diamond sectors with compliant RoRo and container routes.

Gabon is a higher-income, fuel-rich Central African market where the purchasing power and road conditions differ from its neighbours. Luxury and mid-size SUVs from Chinese brands — GWM, Chery, BYD — are replacing legacy European and Japanese fleets, favoured for modern equipment and reasonable total ownership cost
- New and used both import (used under ~10 years ideal)
- Duty, VAT, and auto-tax applied on CIF value
- Left-hand-drive (LHD) — Gabon drives on the right
- High demand in mid-size and luxury SUV classes
- Documents: invoice, certificate of origin, bill of lading
- Inspection and registration after clearance
Because portions of the network are rainy-season-rough, buyers skew toward robust SUVs and 4x4s with strong cooling and underbody protection.
حاسبة الرسوم

Gabonese Customs taxes vehicles on CIF value (Cost + Insurance + Freight). The structure includes customs duty, VAT, and an automobile-specific tax. For typical SUVs the all-in import burden in Gabon lands near 40-45% of CIF; luxury and large-engine models climb with the tax ladder. EVs and hybrids have begun to attract lighter treatment as part of regional energy-diversification.
