Quick answer

We have no confirmed right-hand-drive supply for this market, so a price shown elsewhere on this site for this market is a list estimate, not an offer. The Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) lists 0% customs duty, 0% excise and 0% VAT on electric cars. Steering is the limit. Under the motor vehicle law, a licensing officer does not register a left-hand-drive car unless the minister directs otherwise, and China-market cars are left-hand drive.

Key facts

  • Customs duty, excise, VAT, electric cars

    0%, 0%, 0% at both power bands, up to and above 100 kW, whatever the year of manufacture (GRA). The excise regulations also exempt electric cars

  • Steering

    No registration of left-hand-drive cars unless the minister otherwise directs (motor vehicle law, Cap. 51:02, s.7(2))

  • 8-year age limit

    Removed from 1 Oct 2020 (GRA). Older web pages still quote it

  • Private import

    Possible. The GRA lists a bill of lading, invoice and TIN, filed through ASYCUDA World, and suggests a licensed broker (GRA)

  • Plug-in hybrids

    Taxed as hybrids, not at 0/0/0, by our reading. Rates not checked

  • Other fees

    Not found. The GRA table does not mention an environmental levy or similar charges

  • Pre-import inspection

    Not found

  • Plugs

    A third-party table lists Type 2 and CCS2 (World Standards). Public charging in Guyana: not found

The steering rule

Section 7(2) is not an absolute ban. It lets the minister direct otherwise, but we did not find any such direction or how often one is given. We also did not find whether the section was amended after the 1998 edition we read.

One local guide says left-hand-drive cars from the US and Canada are legal and common (592hub, not official). That does not match the wording of the law, so get an answer from the licensing office before you buy.

The 2026 budget notice does not mention electric cars, so we take the GRA table as current. The page itself has no update date.

Models

We have no model list for Guyana. A car page on this site may say a model has a right-hand-drive version. That means the maker sells one in some market. It is not supply we have confirmed.

How an order works

  1. Check the rules above with a licensed Guyanese customs broker and the licensing office.
  2. Ask us whether we have right-hand-drive supply yet. Send your city, model and version through the inquiry form. We tell you whether we can supply that car before any contract.
