Importers of vehicles are at risk of being fined if their vehicles are brought in with used tyres that are not in conformity with recently amended laws, says the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA).
The GRA in a statement published on its website yesterday, said the new measure will take effect from June 1, 2017; fines will range from $10,000 to $15,000 per tyre.
“The restriction on used tyres became effective on April 1, last. However, it has been observed that vehicles are still being imported with used tyres. The standard set for used tyres to be allowed (once they are imported with the vehicle) is no less than 6mm in measurement,” the statement said.
