As of yesterday, 4 April 2006, here are three vehicles and their official custom duties that must be paid to import them:

2006 Ford Expedition - $ 832,000 RD

2006 Ford Escape - $ 486,000 RD

2006 Ford F 150 pickup (single cabin) - $ 443,000 RD

Remember that this is just the custom duty, not the shipping, insurance or the little gifts that seem to always be necessary when dealing with customs.

I have a friend that imports and sells vehicles. He made a comment to me the other day, something along the lines of "it's who you know". He gets to import vehicles at excellent prices and sells them at what I think are reasonable prices.

You are so right Snuffy.

You can throw out the rule book if you are connected ! I know a young guy in the Capital from a wealthy family whose hobby is collecting exotic cars. The last time I saw him he had just received a new Ferrari for which he paid zero in duties, the same amount that he had paid for the other cars he has brought in.
