You may not get approved but if your vehicle is older and you really feel strongly about it then apply for exemption to this rule. Vehicles that are valued at more than $25,000 will be required to pay a tax that is a minimum of 40% of the cost of the vehicle, insurance and freight, or CIF and the value of the vehicle. You will need to pay an annual tax that is also based on the weight of the vehicle. In order to drive in this country you will need to take a test and pass to obtain an International driving license.

Once your vehicle reaches the port in Suriname, customs will provide you with the documentation that gives your vehicle clearance, once you provide the following proof:

• Driver's license
• Passport
• Shipping verification documentation
• Valid motor vehicle insurance
• Proxy to secure the clearance needed
• Registration car that shows how long the vehicle has been owned by you
• Appraisal of the vehicle or a bill of sale if the vehicle was new when it was imported.

You can contact the Suriname Embassy in Washington, DC if you have any questions or concerns regarding the rules and regulations or the correct documentation needed for clearance.

You will also need to determine what type of shipping is right for you. You may want to choose the Roll On/Roll off method since it is the most affordable and simply requires your vehicle to be driven onto the deck of the ship and fastened down for the ride. Container shipping is another option and will allow for your vehicle to be placed inside of a container along with other belongings and then sealed before it is lifted onto the deck of the ship with a crane. This is the best way to shop over to Suriname if you have a vehicle that is a little more expensive or if it is an antique.
