New laws allow the duty free import of UK and European cars into the Caribbean.
A new set of trade agreements are ratified into law between both the UK and other markets and the EU and other markets, bringing preferential duties for car imports. The Cariforum Community is made up of 14 countries, of which 10 have ratified the new EPA into law. However, it is not commonly known and at the time of writing.
Firstly, it doesn’t apply to all vehicles in all shapes and sizes. From the research we have carried out, the preferential duty applies to petrol, diesel, plug-in hybrid vehicles of different engine sizes. A pure electric vehicle (EV) may already have a different duty level which might be more favourable to the EPA duty level. Vehicles which have been manufactured outside of the EU and UK cannot qualify. Neither do cars which have stopped enroute to the Caribbean.
