Important regulations.

As per the Vanuatu Customs & Inland Revenue, the import duties and tariffs are based on the engine capacity and the size of the vehicle that you are importing. There are no excise taxes but other required taxes that have to be paid are 12.5% VAT while the import duty varies from 15% to 40%. Vehicles with engine capacity of 1,000cc or below pay 15% while 40% for those vehicles with over 3,000cc. The cost of these duties and taxes will be added to the total cost so you are aware of it.
Documents for verification.
With any import procedure to Vanuatu, submission of documents is a vital part of the process. Here are the lists of documents that are needed:
- Vehicle owner’s name/address.
- Description of vehicle.
- Value of the vehicle.
- Certificate for validity of information.
- Proof of ownership.
- Vehicle registration/title deed.
It is important that you complete the proper documentation and clarify it with A1 Auto Transport service. To ensure that there are no delays, it is important to know all about the procedures for clearing Vanuatu Customs. One of them is that you have to have special clearances if you are importing right hand driven vehicle. So it is best to get the clearance and permits in advance before the vehicle is exported. With different methods of shipping to Luganville, you can pick the best method between Roll-on/Roll-Off and Enclosed container shipping method. You might need to consider your budget and the pricing before you make the choice.
The cheapest method is RORO. Your vehicle is driven on the ship in U.S and then driven off the port in Vanuatu. You need to ship an empty car that has been cleaned completely. If you are shipping an expensive vehicle and need to move your personal items and household goods, then container shipping is better. It offers better protection and safety to your vehicle and rest of the goods.
