Why Algeria’s policy environment is important for B2B dealers.
With 9 years of expertise in exporting used cars from China, we’ve seen firsthand how policy changes can impact profitability.
Valued at $1.1 billion in 2024 (Statista), Algeria’s used car market offers lucrative opportunities – if you stay on top of the latest regulations. Here’s your actionable roadmap.

2025 Policy Updates: Key Changes You Can’t Ignore

  1. Implementation of Euro 5 Emission Standards.
    Starting January 2025, all imported used cars must comply with Euro 5 emissions standards.
    Non-compliant shipments will face a 20% fine or be rejected.
    Pro Tip: Work with a supplier that offers pre-certified vehicles
  1. Revised subsidy lifespan
    The 2024 subsidy ($2,000-2,500 per vehicle) only applies to vehicles under 4 years old.
    Avoid costly miscalculations with Algeria’s Import Eligibility Checker.
  1. Tighter COC Certification
    The new COC (Conformité Européenne) requirements now require on-site inspections at Algerian ports. Delays here can result in an additional $150 per day in storage fees.
    Prepare your documents in advance.
