Hong Kong Importing

[N1GTR]

Hi guys

Ive got a mate in hong kong who has bought a really nice car while hes been over there, he's due to come back here next month and wants to bring it here - does anyone know the procedure/costs for doing that?

Is it much different than importing from japan?

Thanks heaps for the help

I don't see how it might differ from importing from Japan.

What car is it?

I'll be over that way in 2 weeks. was wondering about the import scene over there.

Unless it falls into the SEVS category there stuff all chance of importing it unless hes lived there and owned it for 12months.

No different at all, same laws apply regardless of country.

SEVS if he's owned it for less than 1 year, private import if he's had it for more.

It virtually doesnt exist - he reckons he's seen one R34 GTR the whole time he's been there (which is a looooong time now)

when the shop brought in a few cars from h k they had to come in a container no roll on roll off

makes no difference how it gets here, as long as it goes thru customs.

Thats a nice car, my 2nd favourite series of cars after the skylines.

Makes a good car for driving to my family friends parties & show off the 7xx to the cheaper 318s they all have. :laughing-smiley-014:
