teevee Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I have personally imported 2 engines over the past 10 years, 1 x MGA 1.5 Ltr from the UK and 1 x Mustang 5.0 from the USA. I had no problems at all although both were used / fully rebuilt engines, as opposed to new engines. As I recall, the import duty was pretty low (don’t recall the exact number) and shipping was pretty cheap on a consolidated container shipping basis, Both shipments cleared without any hassles within a few days when landed at Lam Chabang. The best advice I have is to have all the paperwork in order (sales receipt, etc) and not to BS with a ridiculous low price for the engine. The guy who actually got all this stuff in has since travelled on but right now I know someone (farang) who does this all the time and is trustworthy. PM me and I’ll give you the contact details.
