Anyone have any experience in doing this with a used car? My thoughts are that it would be cheaper to ship than from the US. Would we pay the same duties etc. coming from PR?

i could be wrong, but i thought the duties you paid had to do with foreign parts on the car

True. But I thought that a used car imported into PR would have already paid those duties.

PR is in a different customs zone than USVI. Go figure. Don't remember the details but there may still be duty on stuff coming from PR.

PR has 11.5% Sales tax. Maybe hard to dodge that. US made cars imported to VI have no import tax. Road tax is based on weight.

Nightmare process getting a car out of PR. Plan on visiting multiple places and inspections. God forbid the engine or frame identification number is illegible. Hire someone to do that if you can.
