We handle all export documentation including the Bill of Lading, export certificate, and auction sheets. Our shipping partners ensure reliable delivery, and we can arrange marine insurance for your vehicle during transit.
Sri Lanka Import Regulations
Sri Lanka has specific import regulations based on vehicle age and engine capacity. As of recent regulations, vehicles up to certain age limits are permitted for import. Excise duties are calculated based on engine capacity, vehicle type, and age. Hybrid vehicles often receive reduced duty rates, making them popular among Sri Lankan importers. We recommend checking current regulations with Sri Lanka Customs before purchasing.
Popular Models in Sri Lanka
Sri Lankan buyers prefer fuel-efficient sedans and hybrids due to high fuel costs. The Toyota Premio, Toyota Allion, and Toyota Axio are top sellers. The Honda Grace hybrid and Suzuki Wagon R are also in high demand. For commercial use, the Toyota Probox and Suzuki Every are popular choices. We source all these models directly from Japanese auctions at competitive prices.
