SHIPPING YOUR VEHICLE TO GUAM:

DO NOT pack your original vehicle registration/title and proof of insurance letter in your household goods or POV shipment. You must have these original documents in your possession to obtain the temporary operating permit at the Guam DMV and to pick up your vehicle at the Guam VPC.

The Government of Guam applies a four percent (4%) “Use” tax on vehicles purchased and imported by members and owned less than ninety (90) days. Any qualifying vehicles will not be released by Guam Customs until this financial obligation is satisfied by the member.

Ask your TMP/PPO to check the personal property consignment instruction guide (PPCIG) for very important host nation vehicle importation restrictions, safety registration, and insurance requirements.
