Vehicles that are 10 years and older will not be permitted to enter Grenada after 31 December 2020.

That is the day when SR0 43 of 2020 which strictly prohibits any vehicle 10 years and over from entering the shores of Grenada, goes into effect. The initiative was first announced in the 2020 Budget Speech.

Vehicles shipped from the country of origin must arrive on or before 31 December 2020 in order to meet the requirement of the ban.

Any vehicle aged 10 years and over arriving in Grenada after the specified date, will not be permitted to be cleared unless listed among the exemptions. The importation of an unexempted vehicle 10 years and over is a breach of the Customs Act 9 of 2015, resulting in seizure and fines and penalties being imposed by a Court of law.

      who knows??? we could expect another ice age due to climate change because of mass importation of vehicles not hotel construction. and they may not only mean snow but for rain perhaps.

    Yes please ban these vehicles!!! There are too many vehicles entering the country. I know people have the right to own a vehicle but people need to understand that the Road Infrastructure in Grenada cannot hold the capacity of these vehicles coming into the country. Another thing that people need to understand is the level of Abandoned vehicles that are piling up on the side of the roads year after year. This happens due to the lack of affordability people have to maintain a vehicle so that it can be kept on the road. People need to understand that when you buy a vehicle there needs to be affordability to keep it running. I ask of the government to please start reshipping vehicles to the recycling plant in Trinidad.

    Yes we do also need to support local car dealers and businesses. Hopefully this ban will be beneficial for them. Not for greedy deals with the Government but to support them as they pay taxes. Please we need to support local car dealers too and buy cars from them.
