Proch Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Hey! ???? I just have a quick query regarding shipping companies operating at the moment - I have a 2 stroke Yamaha that I want to ship home. Can anyone recommend any logistics companies that could help? Thanks in advance!! ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveK Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 It's going to cost you more than the bike is worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proch Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) Thanks man and I get that ???? but would still like to get a quote ???? 2 strokes are hard got back home - and when you do find one you're looking at a good chunk of money. I 100% agree that the shipping will cost more than the value of the bike (here in Thailand) - but I paid 500€ for the bike and if I can ship it for 1000/1500€ I'm still looking at a cheaper bike than I can find back home ????

VocalNeal Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) Could try any removal companies like Schenker. Or a commercial freight forwarder like Ionic. Or strip it down and send small packages by Thai Post or DHL. If the bike is more than 25 years old then you might get it registered as Classic in the UK but Eire will still be the dreaded EU. If it is off road there must be some there to simply buy. Don't forget the 100/1500 will be added to the 500, say 2000, to calculate import duty.

Popular Post Michael Mc Quaid Posted May 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2020 Not cost anything like €1,000 assuming you are ok to wait 4 to 6 weeks from loading. Am happy to fill anyone's goods in my containers. I work and ship with a regular Packing Company and have my own quality control. Chiang Mai is where I load always 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randell Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Great information. Not for me personally (a Canadian) but for the many other I have heard bemoan the lack of choice d of shipping to the Uk over the years. Good luck to you both. You just might find yourself with some new customers.Good luck to all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proch Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 @VocalNeal We have classic status as well in Ireland so looking at pretty affordable insurance premium - all going well ???? Vehicle Registration Tax works out at €30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liddelljohn Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 once the bike is in EU or UK you will be charged VAT and customs duty and registering a 2 stroke may require a vehicle test 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proch Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) No bike test in Ireland thank God ????Being a 1994 I can't see there being much VAT or Duty to pay on her either. That's if I can find a shipping agent to ship her - proving very hard with the current restrictions ???????? Edited May 21, 2020 by Proch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liddelljohn Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 EIRE is in EU so there will be a vehicle compliance SVA test required its EU mandatory.the vehicle will be inspected and must conform to appropriate regulations you may need paper work from original manufacturer if bike is not a European spec model .. it can be a nightmare ,, I used to import and export bikes , just saying /// 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
