We built AutoX to solve a real problem: the opacity and complexity of vehicle import tax calculations in Sri Lanka. Get instant clarity on every cost component before you commit.
Importing a vehicle from Japan to Sri Lanka involves a complex web of taxes — customs duty, excise duty, luxury tax, VAT, SSCL, and more. Each vehicle model carries different rates and thresholds.
AutoX gives importers, dealers, and buyers an instant, accurate picture of the total landing cost before they commit to a purchase. No guesswork. No surprises.
We use the latest government-published duty rates and customs book values, updated regularly to ensure accuracy.
Every cost component of your vehicle import, broken down transparently.
30% on CID Tax Base (FOB + Freight + Insurance). The primary customs duty applied at import.
90% on FOB amount exceeding the luxury threshold set per vehicle model by Sri Lanka Customs.
Applied to (CIF x 1.10) + Excise Duty + Import Duty + Luxury Tax. The value-added tax component.
Fixed LKR amount per vehicle model, set by the government based on engine capacity and type.
Social Security Contribution Levy applied on FOB + Excise Duty + Import Duty.
Customs book value floor ensures fair tax regardless of declared invoice value.
