During the inspection, the vehicle is checked for compliance with safety, emissions, and roadworthiness standards. If the vehicle passes the inspection, JEVIC issues the certificate, which confirms the vehicle's compliance with the required regulations. This certificate is then provided to the exporter, who includes it with the vehicle during shipment to Fiji. The JEVIC certificate is necessary for customs clearance and registration upon arrival in Fiji. |
