UNBS Inspection (Pre-Export)
All vehicles must be inspected by UNBS-authorized agents (like JEVIC) in Japan. A Certificate of Conformity (CoC) is required to avoid heavy fines and local re-inspection fees.
URA Registration & TIN
To clear your vehicle, you must have a valid Tax Identification Number (TIN) from the Uganda Revenue Authority. Our local clearing partners can assist with the ASYCUDA World system filing.
