Understanding Samoa’s Import Regulations

  • Age Limit: One of the key considerations when importing a vehicle into Samoa is the age restriction. Vehicles more than 8 years old from the date of manufacture are not permitted. This ensures that only modern, safer, and more environmentally friendly vehicles are brought into the country.
  • Destination and Transit: All vehicles are shipped directly to Apia, with a transit time of about 20-26 days using RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) shipping methods. Shipment schedules are conveniently weekly, making it easier to plan your import.

Financial Considerations: Taxes and Duties

  • Customs Duty: Importers should expect to pay customs duty ranging from 5% to 20%, depending on the vehicle type and value.
  • Value Added Goods and Services Tax (VAGST): An additional tax, VAGST at 15% is also applicable on all imports.

Ensuring compliance with Samoa's taxation laws is crucial, and incorporating these costs into your budget planning will prevent any surprises during the import process.

Documentation Required for a Smooth Import

To ensure your vehicle clears customs without delays, the following documents are required:

  • Bill of Lading
  • Commercial Invoice
  • Export Certificate
  • Any other documents as specified by Samoan customs authorities

Post-Arrival Inspections and Treatments

Upon arrival, each vehicle undergoes a mandatory inspection along with a water blasting treatment to ensure that it is free from any foreign soil or contaminants. This is part of Samoa’s stringent measures to protect the local environment.
