Age & Emissions Requirements

• Passenger Cars: Belize generally restricts the import of vehicles older than 4–5 years (varies by category).

• Diesel and gasoline vehicles must comply with Belize’s emissions standards to reduce environmental impact.

• Classic or collector vehicles (25+ years old) may be imported but usually require special permits and may be subject to higher duties.

• Right-Hand Drive Vehicles: Not permitted for registration in Belize. Only left-hand drive vehicles are accepted.

• Salvage, Rebuilt, or Severely Damaged Vehicles: Heavily restricted and may be denied entry unless properly documented and approved.

⚠️ Note: Belize applies import duties, GST, and environmental taxes based on vehicle age, engine size, and value. Importing newer, fuel-efficient vehicles is generally more cost-effective and easier to clear through customs.
