Because Water Island is part of the US Virgin Islands (USVI) and therefore considered US territory, there are fewer hoops to jump through when transporting a vehicle as opposed to shipping overseas internationally. However, it is important to be prepared to supply the proper documentation and pay the appropriate fees to ensure a seamless transition.

Required Documents For Shipping A Vehicle To Water Island

1. Vehicle Title (if vehicle is owned free and clear, otherwise, you must obtain a notarized letter from the lienholder giving you permission to transport the vehicle)
2. Driver’s License
3. Current Registration
4. Bill of Lading (supplied to the auto transport company)
5. Commercial Invoice or Bill of Sale, if available (used primarily to determine vehicle’s value)
6. Passport

What to Expect:

• First, you will need to employ the assistance of an auto export/import company to determine the cost of shipping your vehicle. If you can preemptively research and obtain valid US Virgin Islands car insurance, it will be much easier upon arrival.
• Upon arriving at Water Island with your vehicle, you will need to first deal with Customs. If your vehicle was manufactured in the US, you will not need to pay any duty. If it was manufactured elsewhere, you will need to pay duty fees between 3.5% and 6% of the vehicle’s value.
• The next step will be paying road tax at the Internal Revenue Office. The cost is based on the weight of the vehicle and is charged at 16 cents per pound, as determined by the Bill of Lading.
• Your final stop will be the Department of Motored Vehicles (DMV) where you will need to obtain a $5 moving permit in order to transport your vehicle from the port to the DMV for final inspection and registration.

You will have a 90 day grace period upon arrival during which your stateside driver’s license will be considered valid. During that period, you will need to trade in your license for a Virgin Island’s driver’s license in order to continue to drive legally. Remember that you must drive on the LEFT side of the road on Water Island, so be prepared to cautiously approach that transition. Finally, you will find this process infinitesimally easier after contacting a reliable auto transport agency to help you with the move.
