Import restriction on passenger cars: export status holders cannot import foreign cars duty-free under capital goods exemptions.
A 100% Export Oriented Unit or star house cannot import a foreign passenger car duty-free. Duty-free imports under the Status Holder Incentive are limited to capital goods - defined as plant, machinery, equipment and accessories for manufacture or services - and the Handbook of Procedures does not permit EOUs to import cars without payment of customs duty.
