Ban on used tyres import effective April 1- GRA

Come April 1, local importers of vehicles will be prohibited from importing vehicles outfitted with used tyres, as the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) endeavours to bring Guyana one step closer to the implementation of ‘Green Economy’ initiatives.

GRA, through a notice published in the Stabroek News edition of January 25, reminded importers that, as of April 1, 2017, used tyres for motor vehicles including motor cars, vans, Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs), pick-ups, buses and other similar vehicles will be restricted.
