Import Build-Up · Indicative Only
Fuel Landed Cost
& Duty Build-Up
The single most decisive number in a net-importing market: what a litre of imported product actually costs landed in Zimbabwe, and what pump-equivalent and achievable margin that implies against the regulated ceiling. Builds up from a Platts/FOB reference through freight, insurance, trade financing, ZIMRA customs duty and excise, the ZERA debt-redemption and strategic-reserve levies, carbon tax, road levy and NOIC/pipeline margin.
