The government imposes taxes on the imported vehicles after considering the value of the car, freight charges and the insurance. Vehicles that are less than $20,000 are charged with 27.5% of the import duty while those who are $30,000 have to pay 35%. Vehicles valued at more than that are subjected to 40% of their CIF value. There are also environmental taxes which are levied to cover the total cost of disposing the vehicle.

You have to consider the following in order to get customs clearance:

There is a duty-free import for temporary residents of less than six months. The price of the total endeavor would also account for the type of shipping method that you choose. With this in mind, you can go for RORO or container shipping. The representative of the A-1 Auto Transport service is going to provide you with all the necessary details that you would need in order to make an informed decision. You have two choices- RORO and Container shipping. RORO is the cheapest form of auto shipping where your vehicle is driven on the ship and secured in the parking bay and then driven off the ship. In this method, you are not allowed to keep any personal items but in container shipping, you are allowed to keep your vehicle and other items within the container. That is why it turns out to be more expensive. You would have to contact the Embassy of Cayman Islands in Washington, D.C if you want any further information.
