Exporting a vehicle to the Republic of Haiti can take some work. If you don’t have all the documents and legal paperwork in order, it can also take a lot of time and end up costing more than it should. There are different requirements for bringing a vehicle here, depending on whether it’s for business, organizational, or personal use. Understanding the taxes involved and having the required legal documents is essential to keeping the process efficient and costs minimal.
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are exempt from paying import taxes but still must pay an inspection fee when delivering a car to Haiti.
Its auto imports are taxed on a sliding scale that depends on the vehicle's value. The taxation rates are between 5% and 20% and increase by increments of 5%. Most vehicles--those valued higher than $2,000--pay the maximum tax of 20%. A 10% tourist tax must be paid when bringing a used vehicle into the country. If your imported vehicle must be stored temporarily in Haiti while paperwork and documents are sorted out, a daily fee applies.

What Might My Moving Options Be?
- LoLo Shipping (Lift On/Lift Off): This delivery method uses a crane to lift on and lift off your cargo from the ship. This open-air service is recommended for those with inoperable vehicles or packaged heavy equipment.
- RoRo Moving (Roll On/Roll Off) is the cheapest open-air freight service available. Your heavy equipment or large vehicle must be able to drive onto and off of the delivery with the help of a ramp.
- Container Delivery: This method of transport requires your heavy equipment to fit inside a 40-ft dispatching container. Since this transport protects your burden from outside elements, it usually costs a little more than the other options.
- Flat Rack Shipping: The equipment you're transporting is secured in an open metal frame during flat rack shipping. Once your goods have been safely fastened to this massive, sturdy structure, they will ride out the journey atop the boat. When the delivery docks, the frame containing the cargo is removed by crane.
