Importing used Korean cars to Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic drives on the right and bans right-hand-drive imports, so left-hand-drive Korean cars fit directly. A hard 5-year age cap (Law 04-07) means demand skews to recent, low-mileage stock — the Hyundai and Kia sedans and 7-seat SUVs (Sorento, Santa Fe) that suit family use and the local climate.

Import rules - Dominican Republic

Vehicle age limit: ≤ 5 years old
Steering: Right-hand drive is banned - all our Korean cars are LHD, so they qualify
Duty & taxes: Import duty + 18% ITBIS (VAT) + first-registration (CO2-based) tax.

Law 04-07 bars passenger cars more than 5 years old (counted from year of manufacture); the cap applies to everyone, residents included. Right-hand-drive vehicles cannot be imported.
