2027 Finance Bill: Proposed changes for vehicle imports under residency change status

The 2027 draft Finance Bill outlines several updates for Algerian expatriates returning permanently to the country with their personal vehicles. Key proposals include increasing the fee for the Change of Residence Certificate (CCR) to 20,000 dinars and implementing a 60% flat tax on goods exceeding established duty-free limits. These measures, which remain under parliamentary review, aim to simplify customs operations and integrate them into the customs information system. The bill also specifies tariff classifications for commercial vehicles and motorcycles. Furthermore, the government proposes a six-month grace period for vehicles slightly exceeding the five-year age limit, subject to an additional surcharge on customs duties. Current regulations for importing vehicles under five years old, established in the 2026 Finance Act, remain effective while the new measures await final legislative approval.
