Visham Babwah, president of the TT Automotive Dealers Association (TTADA), has expressed strong concerns about the recent decision to raise the permissible age for importing foreign-used private cars.

The new policy allows vehicles up to eight years old (from the date of manufacture) to be imported, up from the previous limit of three years.

Speaking on November 21, Babwah said the change could lead to Trinidad and Tobago being seen as a "dumping ground" for older vehicles.
