Vehicles that are ten years and older will not be permitted to enter Grenada afterย December 31,2020.
That is the day when SR0 43 of 2020 which strictly prohibits any vehicle 10 yearsย and over from entering the shores of Grenada, goes into effect. The initiative was firstย announced in the 2020 Budget Speech.
Vehicles shipped from the country of origin must arrive on or before theย 31stย ofย December 2020 in order to meet the requirement of the ban.ย
Any vehicle aged 10 years and over arriving in Grenada after the specified date, willย not be permitted to be cleared unless listed among the exemptions. The importationย of an unexempted vehicle ten (10) years and over is a breach of the Customs Act 9 ofย 2015, resulting in seizure and fines and penalties being imposed by a Court of law.
