Self-importation of vehicles policy
THE Land Transport Authority has made changes to the self-importation of vehicles into Fiji, says LTA chief executive officer Samuel Simpson.
He said whether an individual or private entity, the revised self-import motor vehicle policy changes had been designed to include transfers to be made between siblings or immediate family members.
“Immediate family members consist of spouse of the client, parents, grandchildren, sister, brother, blood ties involving children, adoption or marriage, and defacto relationships,” Mr Simpson said.
He said for transfers made between subsidiary companies if the vehicle was imported and not registered for more than five years, the vehicle owner must submit their own documents.
“This is to prove the day the motor vehicle or machinery landed in Fiji and the landing price of the motor vehicle or machinery,” he said.
“A motor vehicle insurer disposing of a motor vehicle involved in accident which is or has been the subject of a motor vehicle insurance policy issued by the insurer.
“Transfer of self-motor vehicle from diplomat to diplomat where both the owner and the buyer is an expatriate and is accorded fourth (4th) schedule under the Fiji Diplomatic Privileges and Immunities Act of 1971.”
He said both diplomatic parties should serve in Fiji for at least two years before the transfer was considered.
“Transfer approved based on medical grounds with all the supporting documents to be verified.”
