As of Monday, Jan. 7, 2019, the Saint Lucia Air and Sea Ports Authority will like to advise all vehicle importers to adhere to the following processes for the release of imported vehicles from the facility.
Importers/owners must present importation documents, pay the required duties, and provide proof of registration of vehicles (including stickers and license plates) and proof of insurance. This is in keeping with the Motor Vehicles and Road Traffic Act, Section 10, which states “all vehicles and trailers must be registered before they are permitted to be used on the road.”
The call for enforcement of these processes follows the prevailing challenge with vehicle owners who fail to comply with the correct procedures.
“SLASPA encourages persons to adhere to these processes to ensure seamless operations when transacting related business with SLASPA,” said Chief of Ports Police at SLASPA, Mr. Kennedy Francis.
As of the effective date, imported vehicles will not exit the port without the necessary clearances from SLASPA and the Customs and Excise Department.
