importing a used car from the us

[SR]

what is required
is it possible

at what cost?

[nismoid]

i think the same rules as roro cars will apply in this case, with respect to the age limit and mvt etc

[.:PROZAC:..]

once it's not as a returning resident, the same RORO import rules apply- if the car is being imported to be licensed/registered.

[SR]

so an antique is out of the question then

[Cjruckus]

Unless you are a returning resident and owned it for 4 years i believe.

that was the rule when i was coming home.

And of course if its yours you pay no tax.

[dredman1]

So say it's not a returning resident's car.
Would the Left Hand Drive be an issue or incur any additional fees or cost when licensing/registering?

[SR]

its a 1950

runs on the road

[Cjruckus]

Once it was yours for 4 years, no restrictions on importing.

[SR]

i'm not a returning resident

[Cjruckus]

if you want to go Retro, buy a Minx.

[TK!]

left hand drive is a no no ... only taxis get special permission for that .. or returning residents .. this i infer from observations.

some1 told me bout the taxi part tho.

[OffshoreMarketing]

i sur eu cu dbring it in as an antique lol

[sheppie08]

If you do bring in a vehicle from the US and you are not a returning resident, to be able to licence it for use on T&T roads it must be converted to right hand drive .

[honda hoe]

its a 1950

i'm not a returning resident

no u won't be able to import it

only LHD cars dat are given permission are returning residents, ambulances, hearses

[kes_vtec]

[Yeo]

Wha bout if u are a Trini living in the US, it's yours for 4-5 yrs, and yuh want to bring it home as a returning resident but yuh not really returning home....

[Freelander]

so u saying u go let SR hook u up with the car for 4 years and u bring it back home and then duss it back to the states?


is that what ur ijmplying yeo?

[saltydog]

get someone in the embassy to bring it in for you.they are allowed to bring their cars in and sell them when the leave.

LHD is a real hassel they dont like to register them but this in trinidad you can get anything for a price

[SmokeyGTi]

hmm... so...if you owned a rhd japanese import in the states for 4yrs (that is more than 5 yrs old, say a 200sx)and u want to bring it down...i assume no problem?
