- Why is there no rate table for Algeria?
- Because the tariff there moves with the HS code, engine capacity and model year, and publishing a single percentage would be wrong more often than it would be right. Two channels exist. Under Decrees 23-74 and 23-358 a resident may personally import one used vehicle no older than three years, subject to frequency limits and a resale lock-up, and diesel passenger cars are barred. The commercial channel runs through licensed importers and is mainly new vehicles under the quota system of Decree 22-383. Ask for a quote and the figure is worked per unit against the tariff in force.
