ABOUT WEWAK
Wewak is a coastal town, situated on the north coast of the island of Papua New Guinea, it is the capital of the East Sepik province. Wewak is also a small port servicing vessels from Australia and coastal shipping.
The town of Wewak has a population of approx. 25,000. Wewak has its own international airport. The town is linked by road to several villages along the Sepik river.
The Wewak economy is limited due to the primitive hinterland infrastructure and conditions.
Between 1943 and 1945, during World War II, Wewak was the site of the largest Japanese airbase in mainland New Guinea. The base was subjected to repeated bombing by Australian and American forces, most notably in one massive attack on 17 August 1943. Directly to the west of the town center is a peninsula known as Cape Wom, which was the site of the surrender of Japanese forces in New Guinea on 13 September 1945. The site now houses a small memorial.
Remember, Wewak does have a Police Force, but it is also known to be corrupt. Wewak is a great place to visit, but be careful and try to avoid walking the streets or driving alone at night

In addition to freight and insurance costs, there is also import duties which can, depending on the size of the motor, range from 40%-110% of the vehicles import value. On top of this Import GST of 10% is also collected at the time of import. Add to this broker fees, Quarantine clearance fees, port handling fees, car safety inspection fees and registration fees and this can often double the original purchase price of the vehicle.
Please be aware of all the costs associated with purchasing and importing a vehicle from overseas before you make you purchase. If your vehicle is imported and left at a Customs wharf for over 30 days it is forfeited to the Sate of Papua New Guinea and can be sold or auctioned to recover the duty, GST, and other handling and storage fees owing.
