ABOUT LAE
Lae, is a port city in Papua New Guinea. The city was established around 1928. The Port of Lae is Papua New Guinea’s largest port and second largest city after Port Moresby. The city has a population of approx. 100,000 people and is the capital of the Morobe province, it is located close to the Delta of the Markham river and the start of the Highlands Highway. The Highlands Highway is the main road that between the Highlands area and the coast. The city is Papua New Guinea’s industrial centre and is home to The University of Technology. Lae was occupied by the Japanese during world war 2. It was destroyed during the war and completely rebuilt after the second world war.
In 2017 Australia opened an foreign affairs office in Lae.
Lae City is known to have the best food market in Papua New Guinea This is due to the fact that the Morobe Province (where Lae is located) produces the best taros, bananas, sweet potatoes, yams, fruits and vegetables etc., which have been sought after by many Papua New Guineans as well as expatriates. The Lae Main Market also receives and sells foodstuff and vegetables from the Highlands Provinces. Apart from Lae Main Market, wards and mini-markets are also available to cater for the needs of the growing population of the city.
The Port Of Lae has recently had a major reconstruction, the port is a Deepwater port suitable for large commercial container vessels. Lae is the main shipping Hub for PNG’S smaller islands.

Bringing Motor Vehicles Into PAPUA NEW GUINEA:
There is an increasing number of people purchasing cars online from overseas and importing them in Papua New Guinea. Although the purchase price of these vehicles may seem cheaper than what you can purchase here in Papua New Guinea there are significant costs associated with importing and getting these vehicles on the road. 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.
Documentation will be evidence will need to be produced to support your claim. These documents may include:
- receipts showing purchase and delivery dates
- registration and insurance papers
- evidence when the vehicle, boat or plane was surrendered for shipping .
