Trinidad and Tobago is RHD. Used left-hand-drive is not for normal import. A maximum age (often 6 years) has applied to used foreign used cars — confirm the Ministry of Trade / Customs and Excise Division instrument currently in force. An import licence or e-certificate may be required before arrival.

KMC JAPAN will not ship a 7–8 year JDM car until Customs confirms the cap. Port of Spain is the usual discharge; Point Lisas is an alternative.
