Vehicle importers have raised concerns over a recent rule in the gazette notification allowing imports, citing uncertainty in determining a vehicle’s exact age from its manufacturing date.
The rule states that imported vehicles must be under three years old from the date of manufacture. However, importers argue that manufacturers typically specify only the production year, not the exact date, making compliance difficult.
The Vehicle Importers Association of Sri Lanka has urged the government to amend the notification to resolve these issues. (Newswire)
