Duties & Tariffs

I had the Belize Customs and Excise Department's list of vehicle duties bookmarked on my browser, but apparently, the list has been pulled. Does anyone have the list or know where I can find it? We'll have an RV and a 4 cylinder pickup.

Thanks!

I had that list and it was totally wrong should have been about 24% was then shown a book at the brokers that shows it at a total of 48%. Still waiting for the final.
I would contact a broker directly to get a accurate figure.

on vehicles....older vehicles carry less duty....and vehicles with 4 cylinders carry  less duty....newer and 8 cylinders are going to cost more.

The customs site has been down for 3-4 months :-(
Here is what I saw there and copied:
Belize Import Duties on Passenger Vehicles Description and % Rate

Motor Cars including Station Wagons, Sports Utility Vehicle:
With an engine size capacity of 4 cyl. Or less, and 3000 cc. or less
57.60%
With an engine size capacity exceeding 4 cyl., and exceeding 3000 cc.
65.43%

Trucks:
Of GVW not exceeding 5 tons:
Engine capacity of 4 cyl. Or less, and 3000 cc. or less
19.80%
Engine capacity exceeding 4 cyl., and 3000 cc.
37.62%
RVs: 45% (this figure is per the CARICOM website)

I have not brought in a vehicle, so I can't say how many other little fees and/or %s might be added to get your total.

Thanks!
