Require Documents.
A1 Auto Transport is going to give you a thorough explanation about the required documentation and the paperwork that you’d need to fill out.

- Driver’s License.
- Vehicle Title.
- Power of Attorney.
- Social Security Card.
- Insurance Policy.
The Suriname Customs Department is also going to require certain documents in order to grant you clearance for entering the country. It’s essential that you have everything they might want. Suriname doesn’t allow vehicles which are older than 5 years. At the same time, as an individual, you may apply for a specific exemption from this particular restriction through the Ministry of Trade and Labor. However, keep in mind that your exemption isn’t always going to be guaranteed. If your car costs at least $25,000 or more, you will be required to pay taxes and fees which are going to amount to at least 40% of the value of your car. You will also have to calculate CIF and annual taxes which are based on the output of the engine. You are also required to have a valid and actual International Driving License.
In order to get your customs clearance in Suriname, you’d have to get an entry document by providing the officials with the following:

Booking early also improves access to available vessel space during peak international shipping seasons.
Can I ship a non-running or classic vehicle to Paramaribo?
Yes. Non-operational vehicles can usually be transported using container shipping or specialized loading equipment, while collectible and luxury vehicles are commonly shipped in enclosed containers for additional protection. The best solution depends on the vehicle's condition, value, and dimensions. For higher-value automobiles, many customers choose enclosed vehicle transport before overseas export to reduce exposure during domestic transit.

In most cases, vehicles transported by RoRo cannot contain personal belongings because of international port security and carrier regulations.
