Guest IT Manager Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 It can be done. Last successful one, 3 ships, 3 recipients, 3 containers. Still took 6 months to get out of Customs and they were 2 days from confiscating it, as an imported motorcycle. Nightmare. Don't do it. Buy something here and sell when you are going.

Garry Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 I have a 2002 Yamaha Dragstar XVS1100A Classic Cruiser and was wondering about import duties. Would someone be able to tell me how much duty/tax is involved, for example, am I looking at 50% mark-up or whatever (Hopefully not luxury car tax, which is astronomical in Thailand), if I want to import my motorcycle from overseas. I'm not worried about trying to usurp the authorties and carry this out behind their backs, as I want to do it in a bonafide/legal way. I already have shipping and package fees sorted out, if I decide to ship it pending on import taxes... If it is around 40-50% of current market value, then I am prepared to pay the tax, as this bike is too valuable to me to let go, otherwise it will have to stay out of country. Please no "your crazy" answers, just some valid replies. Thanks in advance for any replies. Merry X-Mas, Garry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_Pat_Pong Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 Don't forget the Import Permit. They don't make this an easy task. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading the info, I might have a talk to the local Yamaha dealer in Chiang Mai and see if they could help me out with the import of a used vehicle, but under their control. Could be a cheaper method, if possible. Cheers mate, Garry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
