How to bring your car to Vanuatu

we already owned 2 LHD cars, so popping them into a container was not a big deal. We then imported one from the US, again no big deal. Friends asked for dispensation, to bring in a RHD, the hassle of it was not worth the exercise, apparently.
If you don't own a LHS car, in your home country, it's very easy to buy one here in Vanuatu.

Hi
Bringing your own vehicle into Vanuatu is no big deal. It must be LHD and you have owned it for 12 months. RHD vehicles are now banned.
Goods restricted from importation
(k)     Right-hand drive motor vehicles - (Import of Motor Vehicles (Control) Act [CAP 221])
There is No duty or excise on your own vehicle imported, normally within first 6 months of residency

If you do not bring in as YOUR private vehicle, then importing used vehicles, there is normal import duty, plus extra duty and excise eg: plus 20% of car value or 200,000vt, which ever is greater.
Car value is CIF = Cost of item+Insurance+freight
Getting your vehicle inspected and reregistered each year (2017) is now  a lot harder, so consider if spare parts maybe issue
