Is the customs-fee estimate final?

No, it's an indicative estimate only. The real value and final duties are set by customs at clearance, under the ALSACE vehicle-valuation system in force since 2025.

Can any vehicle be imported into Algeria?

Generally, vehicles under 3 years old (sometimes extended to 5) with petrol, hybrid or electric engines are accepted; diesel is restricted or banned depending on current rules.

Why does the fuel calculator's result differ from my actual consumption?

Real consumption varies with driving style, road, load and vehicle condition; enter realistic figures (the manufacturer's rating or your own calculation) for the best estimate.

Are the calculator's fuel prices updated automatically?

No, the default prices (about 47 DA/l for petrol and 31 DA/l for diesel) are indicative and adjustable by hand; update them yourself whenever the official price changes.
