The small landlocked country of Bhutan is part of South Asia and is bordered by China and India. The country is very mountainous and contains deep valleys with winding rivers, making it less populous. Many come to the country to work with and study primates and the conservation of the environment here is taken very seriously.

No matter the reason for a person's lengthy stay or permanency, a personal automobile should be of interest. With very little public transportation, it will help a person to travel the country a bit easier.

Traveling

Although roadways stretch across the rough terrain from east to west, making it possible to reach all areas of the country, they are steep and rough. Regular maintenance is crucial if importing a personal auto. Hence the reason that public transit is scarce.

When exporting, take into consideration that the geography tends to be less than favorable for traveling. The paved roads suffer and make it difficult for smaller ones to handle. A vehicle will need to be strong and healthy enough to maintain itself while traveling throughout the country.

Required Documents

There will be documentation needed for shipment and restrictions that must be met.

1. Vehicles might require an import license issued by the Royal Government of Bhutan.
2. Second-hand ones are only permitted to be authoritative of the Foreign Diplomatic Missions and International Organizations.
3. Title and registration will be needed.
4. License, picture I.D., and passport will need to be presented.
5. Show any proof of ownership and insurance.

The restrictions and necessary documentation are always subject to change. Contact the Embassy for current information in regards to shipment from the U.S.

The process of registering.

RO/RO Versus Container Method

Two methods are commonly used for shipment. Keep in mind that being a landlocked country, shipment will be to a nearby port and as the owner, it is crucial to make arrangements for the pickup on the day of its arrival.

• RO/RO is the least costly of the two methods. It requires that the vehicle drives onto and off of the ship. It must be empty at the time of cargo except for floor mats, a spare tire, and a car jack.
• The container option is chosen by those who wish to move other belongings too. It will fit into the container, and the automobile can be filled with property. The container can be shared with another person which will help ease the costs.
