Container (Shared): Best for high-value luxury vehicles or when shipping spare parts with the car.

MAJOR SAVINGS ALERT: Hybrid & EV Duty Advantage!

To support national green initiatives, the Samoan government offers reduced customs duty rates for Hybrid and fully Electric Vehicles (EVs). Importing a JDM Hybrid (like a Toyota Prius or Aqua) significantly lowers your Total Landed Cost compared to standard petrol engines.
