If you want to export your vehicle over to Suriname, you will need to make sure that you comply with the rules and regulations concerning the shipping of your vehicle internationally. It is your responsibility to ensure that all paperwork is submitted and documents are filled out. You will also be responsible for paying any fees before you vehicle is shipped. You may want to ship when the weather is not so wet. Suriname is well known for the raining seasons and May through July is considered the most wet months so the roadways could possibly be washed out and difficult to get through. In addition, the climate is very hot so you will need to make sure that your fluids are all checked before you go to avoid any busted hoses.
