Grenada: relocating to Grenada:

Re: Vehicle (in particular) - I recently imported my vehicle from the UK and similar to all the other posts a broker is essential and worth his/her weight in gold. In addition I was referred to someone that works as a customs officer and this expedited the process. Both cost me US$125.00. I got all the necessary paperwork from Geest and paid a US$10.00 fee. If you're clearing please have either cash (either in US or EC) because a credit card incurs a transaction fee at Geest. To pay customs - I was told that they did not take cash over a certain amount (I did not notice a sign indicating that but as a precautionary measure I got a bank check/draft). It took me a few hours and it's because I had to go to the bank for the cash (if you have check/cheque) so if you have alot of running around to do then a day rental is helpful. The Police station is 5 minutes by foot and they would generally come once or twice a day normally before 2pm and inspect the vehicle to get it off the port but you need to bring the documents to the insurance company to be able to move it off the dock. For my vehicle it was EC$50 (US$19) good for 2 days - temporary protection insurance. I just sent the info over via email (can be done via fax etc.) and you tell them what date you will be clearing the vehicle - all can be done from home but must go in to pick up the insurance because it is needed to show/produced when leaving the dock/customs. Call to verify the tax amount. If you have a purchase agreement that expedites the process. Since mines was purchased from another student then I had to show that and how much I paid this is taken into account when the tax is evaluated. Another factor that determines the price is how old the vehicle is. Mines is 2007 so considered newer and the tax range appears from all account to be influenced by this as well. The older the vehicle the higher the tax rate. Returning students do not pay on the contents of the vehicles. I was able to produce all my student ID's - my printer, shredder, household items etc. Please have a detailed list they will check but once they notice most reconcile they will not be overly anal retentive. However for the content - this may be one-time off since I was overseas for at least a year (this can start for at least a year and goes up to possibly infinity... I did not utilize my returning national's allowance of up to EC$75000.00 or the 50% vehicle allowance (previously just a ec$2000.00 emission fee - so unfortunate) so this can be used later. cheers.
