Panama Car Import Regulations

Panama has a population of about 2.8 million and 460,000 vehicles according to the Panamanian Traffic Vehicle Registry. This is the highest per capita car population in Central America. About 70% of the total vehicle population is registered in the Province of Panama. You can bring new and used vehicle of any age into Panama. Imported vehicles must past emissions test before registration. Panama assesses import duties on an ad valorem basis. The ad valorem system uses the declared CIF value as the basis for import duty calculations and in some cases utilizes historical price information as a reference. In addition to the duty, all imports into Panama are subject to a 5% transfer or value-added tax (ITBM) levied on the CIF value plus import duty and other handling charges.

The maximum duty is 20%. If you are on a Retirement Visa or invest in real estate, you can bring a car duty-free every two years.

Panama is a great market for auto parts and accessories as well. Panama has an open economy and there are no restrictions on importation of new, remanufactured or used motor vehicle parts nor are they classified differently by customs with the exception of clutch kits. Import duties range from five percent to 15% over CIF value.

Tariffs: Panama assesses new passenger car duties based on the vehicle's CIF value. From USD 0 to 5,000 is assessed a 15 percent tax. From USD 5,001-12,000 is assessed 15 percent tax. From USD 12,001-14,500 is assessed 18 percent tax. Over USD 14,500 is assessed a 20 percent tax.

Pick-up trucks, all other trucks for the transport of merchandise, small buses, and chassis with engines pay a flat tariff of 10 percent. 4x4 trucks range from 15-18 percent. Four-wheel-drive vehicles duties are also based on CIF value, from USD 0 to USD 12,000, a 15 percent tariff is assessed; from USD 12,001 not exceeding USD 18,000 is assessed at 15 percent. Startinf from USD 18,000 and all others assessed 18 percent tax. Ambulances, hearses, prison vans, and all other special purpose vehicles pay a flat 10 percent duty. Truck tariffs range from 5-10 percent depending on the weight. Dump Trucks 10 percent, all other diesel trucks weighting less than 5 tons 8 percent, from 5 tons to 20 tons 5 percent, more than 20 tons 10 percent. Decree 56, issued by Panama's Cabinet Council, allows partial duty exemptions of automobiles, buses, and repair parts for taxi and bus operators. Taxi operators ("selectivos") are exempt from 95 percent of duties on new cars valued at USD 7,000 or less and 75 percent on used cars under five years old. They are allowed to import up to 12 new tires at 95 percent off of regular import duties. Bus operators can import up to 18 tires. Bus operators ("collectives") receive import exemptions ranging from 80 percent on six- to ten-year-old buses to 95 percent on new buses. Parts tariffs range from 0-15 percent (HTS numbers 8707-08). Parts such as air brakes, diesel motors, differentials, and transmissions receive import exemptions of 95 percent, but are subject to quantity limitations. All vehicles can be sold tax-free after five years.

Other taxes: Panama assesses a Value Added Tax of 5 percent. Panama assesses a Customs Administration fee of $70 for shipments over $2,000 in value. Law 61 of December 26, 2002, created the Selective Consumption Tax. Beginning April 1, 2003, 5 percent tax is added to the sale price of new cars if the CIF value is above USD$15,000 for passenger cars and USD 18,000 for 4X4.

Other Measures: Panama requires legalization of documents for products shipped by surface transportation. See the Guatemala section for an explanation of this procedure. Some auto parts import volume is limited.

Exporting from Asia can be tricky as auto exporters and car exporters are dime a dozen. The stereotype of used car salesman is universal and based on some truth. With the advent of Internet the crooks have come out of the woodworks to separate the innocent from their money, Thailand, Singapore, Dubai and United Kingdom are no exception. Caveat emptor - buyer beware - maxim has been heeded by businessmen since the time of the Ancients but it is most relevant when all it takes is a DSL modem, a nerdy kit with some HTML skills to put together a website, some Images (Pics) taken at your competitor's lots and you are in business. We have seen a parade of newbie auto exporters come in, offer great deals for a year or so perpetrating an elaborate Ponzi scheme and then disappear with millions of dollars of their customers very hard earned money. Will you trust a company that has been in business for 1 year or one that has been in business for 100 years and is well respected not only all over Asia but also beyond Asian boundaries. If someone offers you a deal that sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Not all new entrants are crooks but there are some who in their quest for the fast buck wants to cut corners at the expense of the customer. When you work with Jim you have the peace of mind to know that we have been voted Thailand's most trusted dealership and Thailand's most trusted auto exporter five years in a row and it is for this reason that we have over 80% of the auto exporting market share in Thailand and dominate car, pickup, SUV, minivan, truck, bus and machinery exports from Singapore, Dubai and United Kingdom.
