Essential documents for importing vehicles

As per the regulations of the Jamaican Customs Department, you must submit several documents to verify and complete the legal formalities. These documents are:

• Owner’s passport.
• Import license.
• Vehicle title.
• Bill of vehicle purchase.
• Tax compliance certificate.

When all of the procedures are followed, the shipment will be faster, and customs clearances will be done smoothly without any delays. Additionally, it would be best if you were prepared to pay up to 67% of the evaluated value of the vehicle as an import duty. Although A1 AT service will try to help you negotiate it to the most affordable price, but that is the standard payment on imported vehicles. The import duty increases if the vehicle size is larger, and you might have to pay more if it is a luxury vehicle.

Additional Auto Import Specifications

Some procedures and eligibility criteria must be considered to ensure that your vehicle is easily imported. These include:

• It is important to remember that you can only import a vehicle that is less than four years old.
• If you are a returning Jamaican citizen who has been away for over three years, you are allowed to import two vehicles. However, your documentation must be in order.
• You are allowed to use the US-issued driving license in Mandeville for 12 months after the vehicle's import. After that, you must get a local Jamaican license to drive.
• You will need to buy an insurance policy for your vehicle in Jamaica; otherwise, the customs officials will not clear the vehicle. It is best to arrange it in advance.
• You cannot sell your imported vehicle for at least 12 months after the import. If it got damaged during/after shipping, you cannot sell it for 3 years.

Additionally, before the vehicle is shipped out of USA, talk with A1 Auto Transport Company to apply for the tax registration number as it is vital to have this number before you can import anything. It can be applied at the Jamaican Tax Administration.

If you are looking for the most affordable way to ship it, choose Roll On/Roll off shipping. The vehicle is driven on the ship, secured and at the Port of Kingston, it is driven off. But you will need to ship a clean and empty vehicle only. If you choose container shipping, the vehicle is sealed inside the large container to protect it from damage.
