Compilation of Foreign Remanufactured Parts Import Restrictions

US Department of Commerce, Office of Automotive Affairs Remanufactured Parts Global Report
proof of a safety certificate issued by the Department of Explosives, Government
of Pakistan.
There is no quota system on these parts.
All used and remanufactured motor vehicle parts are considered and treated as old
(used) parts. U.S. exporters considering exporting to this market are advised to
contact the Pakistan Ministry of Commerce to determine if any amendments have
been made to the government of Pakistan's import policy, allowing the import of
used/remanufactured automotive parts.
The absence of high precision parts manufacturers, lower costs for
used/remanufactured automotive parts and the existence of many
maintenance/repair facilities will make Pakistan a good market for
used/remanufactured automotive parts, provided that the ban, currently
imposed on imports, is removed.
PANAMA
Panama has no restrictions on the importation of remanufactured, rebuilt and/or
used motor vehicle parts. The customs office does not make a distinction between
used and remanufactured parts.
The above applies to all motor vehicle parts.
There are no quotas or limitations on these parts, nor any special treatment or
conditions.
Import duties on vehicle parts in general (remanufactured, rebuilt, and/or used),
range from 3% to 15% of the c.i.f. value. A 5% value added tax is also applied on
the total value of the product (c.i.f. value plus import duty).
The market for used and remanufactured vehicle parts is becoming stronger,
because there is an increasing awareness that such products represent a good
option. This is especially true in the case of commercial vehicles (cargo and
passenger transportation).
