If you are a resident of Trinidad, or if you are visiting and you want to import or export a vehicle, you will need to know the process that must be followed through in order to successfully handle your vehicle. You will need to submit an application that includes all the documentation needed in order to meet the qualifications.

In order to ship a vehicle, you will need to be the owner of your vehicle for at least six months and show proof of it. All application fees, such as duty, miscellaneous tax, and VAT must be paid in full and you must be present when your shipment arrives. You are legally bonded to accept ownership of your vehicle for the first two years after relocating to Trinidad. You are not allowed to sell your vehicle for the first two years. If you are a return citizen of Trinidad, you must have lived overseas a minimum of five years.

Key considerations of auto import.

If you are shipping your possessions to Trinidad, including any SUV's, vans, motorcycles, and vehicles, there are contingencies that you must agree to:

• Your car must show up in Trinidad within two months of your arrival.
• All shipments will be inspected at the container examination station and documented as cleared for entrance into Trinidad.
• All taxes and duties must be paid up according to citizenship status.
• Owner of the vehicle must be present during the time that the vehicle is picked up.

You should know that the process including the paperwork can take a while to complete. If you plan to move to Trinidad then you need to apply as soon as you can and before your move. This will make sure that you are not waiting a while to receive your shipment once you have arrived. Keep in mind that there is a time limit on when you can ship items after you have moved to the country. If you have queries, the Embassy of Trinidad and Tobago can help.

There are two shipping methods that you can choose from. One is the Roll On/Roll-Off method. The second method is the shipping container. The Roll On/Roll Off method is the more affordable method to ship your vehicle. It does leave your vehicle exposed to the weather elements during transit because your vehicle is parked on the ships' deck. If you choose a shipping container, your vehicle is located inside a 20x40 foot container and has higher safety measures taken to keep it; however, it is the more expensive.

If the time has passed that you are allowed to import your vehicles to Trinidad, you may be allowed to do so but with stricter terms and conditions as well as other fees and taxes that would need to be paid. You can save yourself money if you start the shipping process as soon as you know you are moving. It will speed up the entire process so you can get your belongings quickly.
