The Tax and Customs Authority in Sana’a has issued a new directive concerning vehicles and machinery imported from the United States, as part of the government’s efforts to regulate imports and enforce the boycott policies imposed on American products.
The directive states that American-branded vehicles subject to the boycott, as well as non-American branded vehicles manufactured in the United States, will no longer be eligible for customs clearance within areas under the control of the Sana’a government.
The directive notes an exception for vehicles imported from the U.S. and purchased from a dealership located in Sana’a-controlled areas prior to May 18, 2025, provided that official import documentation is presented. It emphasizes that any sales contracts from local showrooms are not considered valid for registration purposes.
The directive also applies to all types of heavy machinery and equipment, such as bulldozers, tractors, generators, and excavators, bringing them under strict import regulations to ensure compliance with legal standards.
