Exporting a car to the Republic of Haiti can take some work, and if you don’t have all the documents and legal paperwork in order, it can also take a lot of time and end up costing more than it should. There are different requirements for bringing a vehicle into Haiti, depending on whether it’s for business, organizational or personal use. Understanding the taxes involved and having the required legal documents is essential to keeping the process efficient and costs to a minimum.
Non-governmental organizations (NGO) are exempt from paying import taxes but still must pay an inspection fee when shipping a car to Haiti.
Haitian auto imports are taxed on a sliding scale that depends on the value of the vehicle. The taxation rates are between 5% and 20% and increase by increments of 5%. Most vehicles--those valued higher than $2,000--pay the maximum tax of 20%. A 10% tourist tax must be paid when bringing a used vehicle into the country. If your imported vehicle must be stored temporarily in Haiti while paperwork and documents are sorted out, there is a daily fee that applies.

What Might My Shipping Options Be?
- LoLo Shipping (Lift On/Lift Off): This shipping method uses a crane to lift on and lift off your cargo from the ship. This open air service is suggested to those with inoperable vehicles or packaged heavy equipment.
- RoRo Shipping (Roll On/Roll Off): This is the cheapest open air shipping service available. Your heavy equipment or large vehicle must have the ability to drive onto and off of the ship with the help of a ramp.
- Container Shipping: Your heavy equipment must fit inside of a 40ft shipping container in order to use this method of transport. Since this form of transport protects your cargo from outside elements, it usually costs a little more than the other available options.
- Flat Rack Shipping: Flat rack shipping uses an open metal frame to secure your equipment. After your cargo is secured to this large durable frame, it is placed on top of the boat where it stays until it reaches port. The frame with the cargo still secured is lifted off of the boat once it reaches port.
