Haiti used car market


Located on the western side of the Hispaniola Island, Haiti is the first nation to attain independence in Latin America. The condition of the country’s local market is not very stable, thus residents prefer to import used vehicles from other nations with Japan being the popular choice.


4WDs and pick-ups’ are logical choice in the country as the roads are not completely developed and demand resistant transportation. In that case, Japanese and Korean vehicles are the best choices among people. Toyota is leading the market of the nation followed by Nissan.

Like other Caribbean nations, Haiti too import used vehicles, mainly from Japan. Around 105 units of used vehicles were imported in the year 2014, which were 51 units more than those which were imported the year before. This shows that the used car market of the country is developing. The Japan automobile industry is apparently determined to become a major supplier of used cars to Haiti.

Japan is the world's leading source of automobiles and is known for ages for delivering high quality vehicles at competitive prices. Importing a used car from Japan is very frequent because of their reliability and authenticity. To ensure that products imported into Haiti meet the standards, there are certain import regulations. The country permits importation of only left hand drive vehicles.

The need for vehicles in the country is high. For instance, in the year 2003 Haiti had the ratio of 223.3 people per registered vehicles, that was the highest ratio of any country in the Western Hemisphere. With the population of around 10 million, it is clear that there is huge demand for quality vehicles in the country. Haiti offers a big market for vehicles and exporters, it is just that vehicle imported into the country should match with the country’s standard and regulations.
