Importing used Korean cars to Libya

Libya has been a high-volume Korean used-car market, though flows have declined amid instability. Left-hand-drive Korean cars are permitted and suit local traffic; the age rules tightened in 2025 (Cabinet Resolution No. 7) and customs duties were reintroduced, so the current cap should be confirmed with Libyan Customs before shipping.

  • Multiple import guides cite a 5-year cap on used passenger cars; some 2025 sources report a 10-year threshold following Cabinet Resolution No. 7 of 2025, which reorganized vehicle entry. Customs duties on vehicles were reintroduced in 2025. Confirm the current cap with Libyan Customs before shipping.
