Importing Cars, Trucks , Motorcycles

Submitted by hobo on 9 May, 2008 - 19:05.

I have been told that to bring a car into Nicaragua it has to be fairly new. Does anyone know what year they have to be? Also is it the same with a motorcycle? I was also told that you could import any year truck you wanted because a truck is considered a work vehicle. One last question, what about antique cars is there a year when they are considered antique and they would be permitted to be imported? Any information would be helpful.

Importing a car

Submitted by Alra on 12 May, 2008 - 21:37.

The car can't be older than 7 years from date of manufacture and with a value of under $25,000.

Importing motorcycles: I've asked the question(via e-mail) to several Nica. authorities and i didn't get any answers.

You can ask the questions to:

ccenter2@cancilleria.gob.ni

Direccion General de Aduanas (Customs)

www.dga.gob.ni

To find your vehicle's tax assessment:

I do

and fit the description, I'm importing a vehicle under ley 535 and never imported before, well once under Somoza.

And since this person doesn't state otherwise, i'm assuming that he has never imported into Nica.

That's why I added the links to the Nica Cancilleria and Aduanas.

Saludos,

Al

do not call it an antique

if you point out that it is an antique, you may get fleeced....

dont know what kind of cars you have, but assuming you have a 1966 mustang, I would put Ford Carro viejo 1966 ;-)

last time I checked any vehicle from before 1997 did not have to pay duty. This may very well have changed, so call your nearest nica consulate.
