Grenada

Grenada allows the importation of both new and used vehicles. However, vehicles imported into the country must be less than 10 years old. Importing vehicles in good condition that comply with Grenadian road standards is highly recommended.

In Grenada, vehicles older than 10 years are not allowed for import. The import duty for cars is calculated based on the CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) value. Generally, the import duty ranges from 10% to 40%, depending on the type and engine size of the vehicle. Additionally, a Value Added Tax (VAT) of 15% and an environmental levy are applied. It is advisable to hire a licensed customs broker to ensure the smooth clearance of your vehicle and compliance with local regulations.

The documents required for importing a car into Grenada include the original Bill of Lading, Commercial Invoice, Certificate of Title, Import Permit, and proof of insurance. Additionally, the original vehicle registration documents and an inspection certificate confirming roadworthiness are necessary for the vehicle to be registered locally.

The car market in Grenada mainly consists of imported used vehicles. Japanese brands like Toyota, Nissan, and Suzuki are popular due to their reliability and availability of spare parts. Many Grenadians prefer compact cars and SUVs, considering the island's varied road conditions. With the rising cost of fuel, there is also a growing demand for fuel-efficient vehicles.

Several clearing agencies in Grenada can assist with the importation process, handling customs clearance, documentation, and inland transport. Importers are advised to use these services for a hassle-free importation experience.
