Part 2 - DIJ Vehicle Inspection to Ship Vehicle | Customs and Immigration

April 9th, 2024 by trailsofmithrandir

After the inspection on the other side of the road (see iO entry “Part 1 - DIJ Vehicle Inspection for Exporting Vehicle”) was completed we were told to come here, with our original documentation. We stayed parked where we were and walked. We were here at around 8:45am and told the officers at the entry post and the checkin desk, that we just completed the vehicle inspection for exiting the country. We were asked to take a seat and wait. At around 9:45am a lady called us to the desk, asked for our original documents and went over those. She also had a form to complete and asked for the name of the shipping carrier, departure and arrival ports. She kept the originals and told us to come back at 1pm to get our documentation.
We walked back to our truck and waited there. Since they don’t to see the vehicle again I guess you could also come back with an Uber if you prefer to wait/camp somewhere else. Parking at this location is also scarce.
We went back at 1pm and received the final paper and our original documents at 3pm.
We were the first of a total of four people that exported a vehicle, so at least that day everything just took it’s time. Make sure to double and triple check the information on the form again, the guy after us had a wrong year listed for his vehicle.

Told to arrive at 1pm. All overlanders going with the monthly RORO boat arrived at 1pm. We didn’t get our documents until 4pm… only to find out they misspelled my name. Triple check everything.

There is an AC unit, but it was off the entire time we were there. Hot as hell. Get there early if you want a seat. Rumors that you need pants and closed toed shoes, but people came i. shorts and flipflops with no issues.

They have a pen now. No worries. Just picking up your certificate.

Parking in this area is difficult. Check out this street, C. Jose Holgin for parking (8.965262, -79.546812).

Go to the building, skip the line. Two police officers will ask you what you want. If they try to point you in a different direction, be persistent and get inside the building.

There is a seating area and AC. You will need to fill out a form and have the original documents with you. Bring a pen. You don't need any copies. You need to know your shipping company (probably Cosco).

We arrived at 9 am and it was "relatively" fast (about 1.5-2h).

Today we got our certificate. We artived at 10.30 as recommend by Overland Embassy and they said, they need one hour. After 2 hours we left the building to eat something and came back around 2p.m. and we waited for another hour or more. -.-
I would recommend to go there, skip the line outside, go inside and fill out the form there and then come back 3 or 4 hours later.

Just wanted to add a photo of the building. use the bridge to cross the busy highway especially if it is raining hard as the roads here were pretty flooded when we went to get our paperwork.

As described. Circumvent line and explain to person at desk you are leaving country with vehicle. We were told to arrive at 2:00. We were there at 1:30. They made it clear we wouldn’t be seen until 2:00. We were only overlanders there. Process went as described. Departed at 2:30. Parked at step 1 location. Very pleasant.

Since no one else described "the process" I will. Enter the doors and tell the man behind the desk you are there to pick up the inspection report for vehicle salida del pais. He'll tell you to sit down on the chairs. Shortly after two pm you'll be called up to provide one copy of the documents discussed in part 1. You will fill out a little slip with passport number, shipping company and destination port and method (barco). Then you will sit down and wait..Eventually they'll call you up and you'll be given the paper. Free to go!

You will find parking here if you look for it, I park 200 mts from the offices ,with a 30 ft motor home.

If you have a big rig, you will not find parking here. Park at the DIJ inspection area parking lot, and walk to here...it will be easier!

Good description. Took us just over an hour from start to finish.

This is the location for picking up your papers after you complete the inspection.
Bypass the line outside and go through the double doors.

You will be assigned a number and wait to fill out another form

Process can take over an hour
