Import prohibited
Vehicles more than 8 years old from manufacture are generally not permitted into Samoa (some sources instead cite a 10-year threshold for second-hand vehicles specifically -- verify the current figure with Samoa customs). Left-hand-drive vehicles are prohibited for traffic safety (Samoa is a right-hand-drive country). Used vehicles and machinery must be inspected on arrival and undergo water-blasting decontamination -- pre-shipment cleaning is strongly advised to avoid delays.
