ozzy111 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 What are the regs (if any) on importing motobikes into the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raro Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 used motorbikes cannot, for new ones you will need a permit from the land transportation department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWMcMurray Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I hate to disagree with you on this one Raro, but I spoke with our customs manager and was told the following: 1. For used motorcycles it requires a permit and you are only allowed one used motorcycle per person 2. For new motorcyles, no import permit is needed 3. For both Duty = 60% (CIF value) and VAT = 7% (CIF + Duty) Can you advise if this would be a temporary import or a normal import entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raro Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 1. correct if the motorcycle is coming together with your personnel effects shipment and you are willing to go through the paperwork. I do not know anybody who actually went through this ordeal and we get similar requests every other week. As for 2: also correct, there is no problem upon the import but you will need it for the registration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I intend to on sell the new bikes once i have imported them so it would be a normal import. Do you currently import bikes mate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
