For an imported foreign-used vehicle sold by a dealer, check the dealer against the Ministry of Trade and Industry Trade Licence Unit information and review the vehicle and transaction evidence separately. FIUTT registration and Trade Licence Unit dealer registration are different regulatory checks.
Two regulatory checks answer different questions
The Financial Intelligence Unit of Trinidad and Tobago supervises Motor Vehicle Sales as a listed-business category for anti-money-laundering, counter-financing-of-terrorism and counter-proliferation-financing obligations.
The Ministry of Trade and Industry Trade Licence Unit manages the registration framework for dealers importing and selling foreign-used right-hand-drive vehicles. Its published requirements include an FIUTT registration certificate among the documents used in that dealer-registration process.
Check the current Ministry dealer information
The Ministry and TTBizLink publish information for active registered used-car dealers. Use the current official source when dealer status matters because lists and registrations can change.
Dealer status does not replace checking the individual vehicle, price, condition, documents and sale terms.
Inspect the vehicle itself
A registered business can still sell vehicles with different ages, mileage, condition and history. Match the vehicle identity to its documents and arrange a competent inspection before relying on the appearance or advertisement.
Keep registration claims precise
DSDillon publishes FIUTT Motor Vehicle Sales registration reference MVS/LB/132/2025 and appears under Motor Vehicle Sales on FIUTT’s public registrant list. That FIUTT status should not be described as a Trade Licence Unit foreign-used dealer registration.
Questions people ask
Is FIUTT Motor Vehicle Sales registration the same as Trade Licence Unit used-car dealer registration?
No. They are separate regulatory frameworks with different purposes.
Where can I check registered foreign-used car dealers?
Use the current Ministry of Trade and Industry or TTBizLink active registered used-car dealer information.
Does dealer registration prove a specific car is mechanically sound?
No. The individual vehicle still requires document, condition and inspection checks.
What FIUTT Motor Vehicle Sales reference does DSDillon publish?
DSDillon publishes MVS/LB/132/2025 as its FIUTT Motor Vehicle Sales registration reference.
