So if we relocate we would like to at least send a car to tunis. I understand I cannot bring a vehicle without paying a hefty tax, but for my husband who is a Tunisian citizen, can he bring a car? I was told he could bring one car as long as it鈥檚 3 years old or newer. Is this correct? Are there any restrictions on the type of vehicle? We are looking to bring a family car for only personal/private use. Thanks!

Your husband has definitely the right聽 to import a car (may be two) if he traveled with his Tunisian passport and spent at least 2 years abroad. A complicated, but sure administrative procedure should be done. The car must be touristic (private, familial/not commercial). But he also has the right to import a truck if he establishes any kind of company (not difficult). You as well might be eligible to bring a car as a foreigner legally resident in Tunisia if you fit some other conditions.
I advise you to visit the web site of the Tunisian Customs, but unfortunately the English section is still under construction. I assume your husband speaks French and Arabic

All the best
