Curaçao is a left-hand-drive Caribbean market with no confirmed statutory age cap on used imports, and its tax scale strongly favours electrification: battery-electric cars enter at 0% import duty, plug-in hybrids at 10%, against 27% for petrol. That makes it a natural first stop for Chinese EVs and PHEVs in the region, with Willemstad as the gateway.
Left-hand drive only · Inspection before shipping · MOQ from 1 unit
No statutory age cap is confirmed for used imports. In practice vehicles over 10 years rarely pass the periodic inspection, so the local trade stays mostly within 10 years.
Petrol cars 27% import duty, plug-in hybrids 10%, battery-electric 0%; turnover tax 6%; excise by engine size 8–40% for petrol cars with new-energy vehicles exempt; registration fee 1.5% of CIF. Industry figures — confirm with Curaçao Customs before quoting.
Left-hand drive only; right-hand drive vehicles are refused clearance.
Port of Willemstad.
Curaçao Customs (Departamento di Aduana) for clearance; the traffic inspectorate for road-worthiness and the two-yearly periodic inspection.

Tax figures come from industry sources rather than a published tariff schedule and must be confirmed with Curaçao Customs before a quotation is issued. Petrol vehicles must meet Euro 4 emissions; battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles are exempt from the emissions check.

EZ Auto's team has 15–20 years of experience in China's car export business. We have taken our first concrete step in Chile — building local presence and partnerships — and are now extending the same order-based, document-complete model across Latin America country by country. We do not rely on transshipment shortcuts; every car is sourced directly in China, inspected before payment, and shipped with full export documents. A typical order runs in seven steps: you confirm the model, specification and quantity; we source and verify availability in China; you approve the unit and we sign the contract; inspection takes place before payment; export clearance and booking are arranged in China; the vehicle sails from a Chinese port and we send you the shipping documents; you clear customs on arrival with your local broker. Payment terms, delivery windows and inspection scope are agreed in the contract for each order — we do not publish standing figures, because sourcing and freight conditions change. Our role ends at the destination port; import clearance and inland delivery are handled locally, with our document support throughout.
Real feedback from the importers we serve
I took a Zeekr 9X, a Geely Monjaro and a Deepal S05. Quality is up to standard, prices are fair, and the loading was done even faster than planned. All three cars arrived without a single hitch. Thanks to the EZ Auto team — we will be back. (Translated from Russian)
We received a Geely Galaxy M9 and a Changan CS55. Both cars are new, fully equipped, and everything matches what was agreed. The managers are always reachable and helped organise the delivery. We plan to expand our range together with EZ Auto. (Translated from Russian)
I ordered two vehicles from EZ Auto: a Jetour Dashing and a Jetour X70 Plus. The cars arrived as described and in very good condition. The team replies quickly and follows the file through to delivery. I will do business with them again. (Translated from French)
