Procedure for Importing a Vehicle

[Mr.Bollywood]

Hey what's the tax per cc for a 2000cc vehicle thank you

tax alone would amount to $7900.00, I just multiplied $3.95 by the 2000, following the guidelines set above!

Tax per CC is a different $ value for 2000-2499 cc vehicles. I believe it's about $25 per cc. Tax would be $50,000.00 on a 2000 cc engine...

The rates are $ for the first 1599cc
$8 for 1600 to 1799
$15 for 1800 to 1999c
$25 for 2000 to 2499
I think it's $35 for 2500 to 2999 but not sure as I think it changed in the last budget or something.
Above 3000cc and thing the tax is a kidney and piece ah liver n stuff. Read up before you bring een that viper 5.8L

oh god noooooo......... there goes my plans on importing a supra :/ found one in the UK for 44K tt but scratch that after the Tax jumped up

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Supra too old to bring in (legally) anyway. That's before you even think about taxes.

[Mr.Bollywood]

hahahaha yea I know, but according to another thread on the topic, there are ways around the registration of the vehicles over 6 years

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

How old is the supra?

[Mr.Bollywood]

is a 1993 Mk4 Supra which makes it about 21 years old

[Mr.Bollywood]

You know just to comment on the fact that an individual importer can drive the vehicle with a cover note that uses the VIN number, I remember trying that one day, was just taking the car about 3 houses away to a car wash before going to licensing just when the police pulled me over, trying to explain to them and they acted like that is not allowed , somehow I managed to escape unscathed but never took the chance again ,,,, even to have the tyres and ac inspected I does pay the small fee and have them come do it home .....

it is legal to drive it without plates if u r a private owner but not all officers know about it, when I was coming back from license office with mine a police pull me over by the light house and make me follow him to traffic branch, but at traffic branch his superiors knew about it so they let me leave. when you are driving without the plates make sure to have all documents at hand.

Hey guys if I'm to bring in a r35 Nissan skyline what kinda engine taxes I'll be looking at paying mind you its a 3.8litre.

I priced a 36k pound r35 and the added taxes I calculated were close to half million TT. That's not including the CIF value.

[whiteknight1431]

It's really sad to know we as trinibago people have to pay so much more for vehicles that are so cheap in the 1st world countries.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

I wouldn't exactly call a gtr cheap even in first world countries.

[Boost Brain]

once a car is over 30 years old, can it be registered ?

[Morpheus]

Good stuff here...

[jaggie]

hey guys, I've read through the thread and I'm interested in importing a 1971 Datsun 240z, can someone please give me an idea of the cost to import and register (first time car owner)
the cost of the car is around $3500USD

and I have read the rules of registering a car, as the 240z is over 30 years old, it is considered vintage and can be registered.

please any help will be greatly appreciated!! THANKS

okay so I never new we had a rule of vintage cars can be registered!!!.....anyone could explain this..???

[rottedv]

What about bringing in a vehicle to use as parts? Are the fees the same? Is the process the same also?

(8000 x 6.45) $ 51,600.00

Motor vehicle tax (1490 x 3.75) 
$ 5,587.50
Total cost before vat 
$70,087.50
VALUE ADDED TAX 
$10,513.13
COST AFTER ALL TAXES 
$80,600.63
BROKER & MISC FEES

[brandon123]

A easier way to get a quick figure for a 1499cc or near car is this...


CIF X 10.35....
Example: $8000USDX10.35 = $82800TTD

Example :Wingroad 1490 cc, $ 8,000 USD CNF Cost out of Japan
(8000 x 6.45) $ 51,600.00

Motor vehicle tax (1490 x 3.75)
$ 5,587.50
