Shipping a Car from the UK to Fiji: 2026 Guide

How to ship a car from the UK to Fiji in 2026 — Suva discharge, transhipment via Singapore or Australia, LTA inspection and import duty rules.

Frequently asked questions

Can I ship a UK right-hand drive car to Fiji?

Yes. Fiji drives on the left and registers RHD cars without conversion.

How long does UK to Fiji shipping take?

Allow 8–12 weeks door-to-door. The transhipment leg (usually Singapore or Brisbane) is the variable.

Is there an age limit on Fijian car imports?

Yes, typically 8 years for passenger cars. Confirm the current LTA rule before booking.

Can I ship a UK 4x4 for use on Fiji's outer islands?

Yes — Hilux, Land Cruiser and Defender are the most common UK imports, well-suited to Vanua Levu and Taveuni unsealed roads. Inter-island ferry (Goundar Shipping, Patterson Brothers) accepts vehicles at FJD 380-FJD 650 per crossing.

Is the 8-year age limit strictly enforced?

Yes for passenger cars. Trucks and 4x4s up to 10 years are accepted under the commercial category. Vehicles outside these windows can only enter under returning-resident concession (Fijian citizens returning after 5+ years abroad).
