elephantwithtrexarms Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I have a built motor I also want to import. SeaFlight said they don't handle paperwork. Anyone know of a company that can? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liddelljohn Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Import duty on spares or parts is normally 35%,, at customs ,, the problem comes if they actually check the true value of the item ,, if your brand new crate motor is $10,000 and they suss that out your in for $ $3500 duty but thai customs often tack on handling , storage and other charges ,, which if you argue the cost can turn into ransom charges ,, ,, my experience is that 4 out of 5 imports go smoothly and fairly and the other one is either a ripoff or a total loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They check the numbers when you go for the yearly road "worthynes" test..so yes you would then have problems paying road tax but insurance may still pay out ? and you may still be able to find some "dodgy" testing centres. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show this to DLT and all is well. The big question here is, how are you going to get it through Customs?

A car engine looks pretty much like a mirror, innit? Not even talking about the weight now. If the engine makes it through, there's no problem at all to put it in your car. They never checked my engine number in 17 years. If you're clever, go to a place with this sign and let them do the checks. They usually check the engine number at the LTD. They never look for the engine number at these little places. Edited January 19, 2020 by Isaanbiker Mr. Benz who never had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
