How importation works

From request to road, step by step.

Not every stage is carried out by BigBen Motors itself. Shipping, clearance and registration involve other providers and authorities, and we explain who does what.

  1. Tell us what you need

    Share the make, model, year range, vehicle type and budget you have in mind.

  2. Discuss suitable vehicle options

    We talk through options that fit your needs and help you understand what is realistic.

  3. Review the vehicle information and costs

    Before you commit, we go through the vehicle details and the full cost picture, not just the vehicle price.

  4. Confirm the importation arrangements

    When you are happy, the arrangements are confirmed in writing with BigBen Motors.

  5. Coordinate shipping and documentation

    Shipping and paperwork are arranged with the relevant third-party providers.

  6. Follow the vehicle’s progress

    We keep you informed as the vehicle moves toward Zimbabwe. Timelines are estimates, not guarantees.

  7. Discuss clearance, delivery and support

    When the vehicle arrives, we talk through clearance, registration and delivery steps for your case.

Timelines, costs and requirements depend on the vehicle, the shipping arrangements, applicable regulations and your circumstances. Nothing here is a guaranteed date or price.

Start at step one.
