The deadline for the importation of vehicles over 10 years is now December 31stย 2020.
Cabinet has approved the extension of the ban in response to logistical challenges to individuals importingย vehicles due to the impact of COVID-19.
Importers now have three additional months to complete transactions and finalise importation before theย ban comes into effect. Importers however, must ensure that vehicles arrive in Grenada on or before that deadline. After December 31stย 2020, vehicles 10 years and older willย notย be permitted Grenada except forย those on the list of exceptions.
The importance of this ban is in line with governmentโs commitment to protecting the environment andย preserving the health of the Grenadian people. The necessary legislative adjustments are currently beingย prepared to accommodate the extended deadline.
Meanwhile, as efforts continue to protect the environment and safeguard the health of the Grenadianย people, Government is finalising plans to simultaneously implement a fifty percent (50%) duty and taxย concession on the importation of electric and hybrid vehicles, which takes effect fromย September 31.
Note well that the ban also extends to hybrid vehicles over 10 years.
