Mauritius is RHD. Used car imports are allowed but with a short maximum age (historically around 3–4 years from first registration or manufacture depending on the Finance Act in force) plus high excise. This changes in the budget. Do not use a stale “4-year” blog as the only check.

KMC JAPAN ships to Port Louis only. We will email MRA or a Port Louis broker with the exact chassis/year before buying. LHD is not for normal use.
