Notice of New Import Regulations by the Government of Guyana

Jan / 30 / 2025 (JST)

Dear Esteemed TCV users
We sincerely appreciate your continued use of TCV.

This is to inform you of an official announcement from the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA)
regarding mandatory pre-shipment inspections (PSI) for vehicles exported to Guyana.

Starting from February 1, 2025, all used vehicles exported to Guyana must undergo a pre-shipment inspection (PSI) by Auto Terminal Japan Ltd. (ATJ).
Once the inspection certificate is issued, buyers must upload it to ASYCUDA along with other required documents for customs clearance in Guyana.

【Important Notes for Buyers】
● Effective Date: Applies to all used vehicles shipped on or after February 1, 2025
● Designated Inspection Agency: Auto Terminal Japan Ltd. (ATJ)
● Mandatory Upload of Inspection Certificate to ASYCUDA for Customs Clearance
● EAA and Other Inspection Agencies Will NOT Be Valid – ATJ Inspection is Required
● Exemptions: Vehicles purchased and shipped before January 31, 2025, are not affected by this regulation

【TCV Payment & Invoice Processing Guidelines】
Due to the new regulation, pre-shipment inspection (PSI) must be added to all applicable transactions.
Since TCV is currently updating its system to make pre-shipment inspection mandatory, the option to select or opt-out of the inspection is not available at this time.
Therefore, please review your ongoing transactions and follow the appropriate steps below until the system update is released.

<Before the payment notification>
●Before issuing the invoice, confirm with the seller whether the pre-shipment inspection fee is included.
●If the fee is not included, ensure that the total remittance amount covers both the vehicle price and the inspection fee.

<After the payment confirmation>
If additional payment is required because of pre-inspection fee, please follow one of the two methods below:
1) Direct Payment to the Seller:
- Use the TCV messaging function to make an additional payment directly to the seller.
2)Reissuing the Invoice for Fund Allocation:
- The seller will relist the same vehicle.
- Please issue a new invoice and allocate the funds to the new invoice.
- After that, please proceed with the additional payment to TCV.
