Good.morning.聽 sorry but it won't be allowed.聽 It's too old to be imported and won't qualify yet as vintage either.

Hi there,

Thanks for the comment. Now, this truck is a 2006 Ford box truck coming from Haiti. I was considering having it driven here. The plans were to use it as a business truck for transporting things in the Dominican Republic.

5yrs old maximum and often you have to have owned it for a year before importation
Then the taxes

Yes, 5-years old maximum for vehicles. But, no older than 15-years for commercial vehicles. The box truck will be driving from Haiti into the Dominican Republic. However, the commercial vehicle was exported from Massachusetts into Haiti 5 years ago. In overall, I think I should be fine as long as all the documents are in place.

I understand. But, it wouldn't make much sense for what I have planned. I have plans for the truck here in D.R., not in Haiti.

Really! I have never come across such a thing. I'm going to look into it but I'd rather have the vehicle registered here. Thanks for your time and help.
