Buying in the United States gives you more models, trims and years, from dealers, private sellers or auctions like Copart and IAAI. You buy the vehicle; IMPOCAR brings it to you. Our truck picks it up in Florida or nearby states and takes it to our yard in Davie, Florida (or you drop it off there), and from there we ship it to Honduras. If it is farther away in the U.S., we arrange transport directly to the nearest port.
Step by step
- Choose the vehicle and estimate the total cost, including import taxes, which are reviewed for each vehicle.
- Check that it can be imported (age and condition) and review its history by VIN.
- You buy the vehicle (directly, from a seller or at auction) and keep the bill of sale and original title.
- Land transport: we pick up the vehicle in Florida or nearby states and bring it to our yard in Davie, Florida (or you drop it off); from farther locations, directly to the nearest port.
- Ocean shipping to Honduras.
- Customs clearance through a customs broker in Honduras.
- Final steps: registration with the Instituto de la Propiedad (IP), inspection and plates.
Route and transit time
We ship your vehicle to the port of your choice in Honduras. Transit time depends on the carrier, departure port and sailing date; we give you an estimate with your quote.
Age and condition restrictions
Honduras has import restrictions based on the age and condition of the vehicle (for example, damaged vehicles or certain title types), and these rules can change. Before you buy, check that your vehicle can be imported; we are happy to review it with you when you request a quote.
Taxes in Honduras
Importing a vehicle into Honduras does involve paying taxes at customs clearance. The amount is not the same for everyone: it varies by vehicle (type, year and value, among other factors), and the regulations have changed recently. That is why the exact amount should be checked for each vehicle before you buy.
IMPOCAR helps you review it when you request a quote on WhatsApp at +506 8301 0303 or through the site form, so you know the full cost before deciding.
Usual documents
Original title, bill of sale, bill of lading (BL), importer ID (DNI, passport or residence card) and RTN if requested; then the customs declaration and the vehicle registry documents.
