- Why is there no rate table for Yemen?
- 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. Import thresholds are low, but there is no functioning letter-of-credit channel. Every order runs on advance T/T, and the shipping line’s willingness to call at a Yemeni port is confirmed before the order is accepted. Ask for a quote and the figure is worked per unit against the tariff in force.
- What is the vehicle age limit for importing into Yemen?
