Customs broker specialized in vehicle imports

Q: How much does it cost to import a vehicle to Venezuela?

It is not a single tax. Depending on the vehicle and the operation, import duty, VAT, the customs fee, the additional luxury rate and IGTF may apply. They are not all calculated on the same base, and IGTF is reviewed separately according to how and to whom payment is made. That is why the amount changes case by case. We explain it in detail in our guide on the cost of importing a car.

Q: Which vehicles can be imported into Venezuela?

New and used vehicles can be imported within the conditions set by current regulations, which change frequently. We verify them for you at the time of your operation. We explain it step by step in our guide on how to import a car to Venezuela.

Importing a vehicle into Venezuela requires filing the customs declaration, calculating and paying duties and taxes, and completing customs clearance. In Puerto Cabello, UNICA manages the process with more than 1,200 vehicles imported and over 20 years of experience.

Do I need a customs broker to import my car?

As a general rule, in Venezuela the Customs Law (Ley Orgánica de Aduanas) requires customs declarations and customs-regime procedures to be handled through an authorized customs broker. The law provides specific exceptions, but they do not include an ordinary commercial vehicle import. UNICA handles the declaration, inspection support and customs release so your vehicle enters the country in order.
