THE Cabinet yesterday approved a further increase in the age at which used cars can be imported.

Government has taken the age at which foreign used vehicles can be imported into T&T from the pre-budget limit of three years to the post-budget limit of six; and now, weeks after the budget, to eight years, Trade Minister Kama Maharaj said yesterday.

In the 2026 budget, the Minister of Finance had announced the increase in the age limit for importing used vehicles—from three years to six years.
