Help For Imports Of Motorcycle In Parts.

[dagling]

Does anyone know what you have to pay in import tax of a motorcycle that will be brought in to Thailand in parts from another Asian country?

Do I need to have a registrar company in Thailand for doing this?

The bike I want to import is a Norton 16H 1943, 500cc. 100% restored and in mint condition. How much do you think a bike like this is worth in Thailand? The bayer in Thailand will have the bike with Invoice and tax paper, Greenbook can be arranged.

Can't help you on the import, but the restoration on that o'l gal looks excellent. Got anymore photos?

"Does anyone know what you have to pay in import tax of a motorcycle that will be brought in to Thailand in parts from another Asian country?" To be perfectly honest with you, and this is from experience, the cost to bring it in will be whatever Customs thinks it's worth, how much they think they can gouge out of you and if anyone in the Customs Department wants your bike you'll never see it again. Importation of a used bike and used parts is not legal. Ah you say, you have a way around all of this. Maybe so but it won't be cheap.

This can not be true? If I order a second hand gas tank on Ebay, its not legal???

No its not illigal as long as you can pay the duties and taxes. I believe that is case by case basis. Look around here on this forum there was someone who imported a enfield from India in parts but cannot remember his name.

I just received some parts in for my Ducati. Post Office feed was around 17% on value
