Importing Regulations.
The Fiji Government is going to cancel the registration of the exporting country prior to giving you with a local one. If the cancellation certificate isn’t in English you are going to have it translated and you won’t be able to transfer the car to anyone for five years afterwards. There are a lot of custom duties and procedures to be abided by and we could assist you with those. You are going to have to schedule an appointment with the Customs in order to get the formalities out of the way and you are definitely going to fill out a variety of paperwork thoroughly completed. The procedures are as follows:
- Get agricultural clearance from the Authority of Biosecurity in Fiji.
- Arrange customs clearance.
- Pay the taxes and duties.
- Get the cancellation mentioned above.
In addition, there are different permits as well as clearances that you’d have to take care of prior to getting your vehicle delivered. We have close connections with the Fiji government in order to provide you with quick fixes for these procedures. Their requirements include:
- Clearance for quarantine.
- Owner’s passport.
- Insurance.
- Original title.
- Purchase invoice.
- Invoice for export and freight.
- Bill of Lading.
Once your car is cleared you would have to contact the LTA – Lands Transport Authority in order to get through the compliance audit before you can register it. They are going to require:
- Bill of Lading.
- Single Administration Document.
- De-registration certification.
You would also have to consider the shipping methods and if you want to go for RORO you might want to consider stripping the car of all your belongings as it’s susceptible to theft through the shipping process. If you want to relocate other personal belongings you might want to go for the container shipping. We do not recommend packing any goods within your car as the Fiji Customs would require a proper and detailed list of all the goods which have been transported. The VAT that you have to pay is calculated based upon the current market value of the car. If you want to get any further information you might want to go ahead and contact the Embassy of Fiji in Washington, DC.
