Yes, that is true, but, you have to form a corporation first and run the business, and you can import anything you want without paying any tax.

If you start a tourism related business here in Roatan (even a small
one) you can ship your car straight to Roatan for free, no duty.
Just make sure the car is in the name of your company and will be
used for business purposes.
This may also be applicable to Honduras in general.
Just letting you know there are other options.

would have to pay $7,200 in import taxes, plus his fee just over
100, The difference between one agt and the other in not a gringo
price, but, how profesional the agent is, He is suppose to represent
you and know the law to defend you at the Custom House, and some of
them just hand the papers to the Gov, office and don´t fight for you
or don´t do their homework. Please contact him at this two
emails, he won´t anwer right away, but, he is very profesional and
have offices in diferent cities in Honduras.
