Toyota Roomy Custom G 2025 Import Tax in Sri Lanka

Ranked #7 among the most imported vehicles into Sri Lanka in 2025, the Toyota Roomy Custom G has earned a loyal following among families seeking a practical, space-efficient city car. Its tall-wagon design with sliding rear doors makes it especially appealing for urban households navigating tight parking and daily school runs. Powered by a 996cc petrol engine, it falls under HS Code 8703.21 a classification that carries a customs import duty of LKR 686,000 and excise duty of LKR 2,888,400, making the tax burden significantly heavier than many buyers anticipate.

Based on a FOB price of JPY 1,600,000 (approximately LKR 3,200,000), freight and insurance bring the CIF value to LKR 3,430,000. Total taxes add LKR 5,456,680, pushing the all-in import cost to LKR 8,886,680 roughly 2.5 times the vehicle's FOB value. This effective tax rate of 159.1% of CIF is a critical figure for anyone budgeting their import.

Despite the tax load, the Roomy's JDM-only status, strong fuel economy, and versatile cabin continue to drive demand. Sri Lankan buyers should factor in additional costs such as registration, insurance, and port handling charges, none of which are included in the figures above. Running this calculation before committing to a purchase is strongly advised.
