Restrictions on import of Vehicles

There are no prohibitions on the importation of vehicles from any country. However, there is a restriction on the importation of left hand drive vehicles pursuant to Section 79 (1) of the Customs (Control & Management) Act #14 of 1999 except under special permit issued by Cabinet.

The Montreal Protocol (Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer) Act # 49 of 2003 has implications for the importation of vehicles. Regulations, soon to be passed, will set out restrictions on the importation of vehicles that require a supply of ozone depleting substances for air conditioning units.
