Basic import cost's

[Nismo_Boy]

can some one tell me around how much it'll cost to get a R32 gts-t in from japan, if the car is going to cost around $2300.

BTW, No I'm not planing on buying this car, nor I'm I looking at buying any car right now, I'm just doing a little research on cars for sale in japan, and yes this car I'm talking about seems to be in good nic but it is an auto so I guess this is why it's cheap.

I am going through the process of importing one now.

car cost

+ 15% import tax (or some crap),

+ 10% GST on all that.

+ 2000 or so delivery.

+ 2800 compliance (r32 in perth)

my 8500$ car has made its way to 17k now, but then theres

+ on road costs

+ tyres

ohh the joys, just gotta wait for the sucker to leave the damn docks over there.. 3 weeks so far.. ARGH!

thanks for that

[RadiuM]

also to remember, it has to be mid 92 onwards to import R32's into australia now..

I heard someone saying you can still get the VERY early ones, but not 100% sure on that.

Actually , it should be

car cost

+15% import duty

+shipping should be $1500

+ 10% GST on whole lot

+ compliance R32 $2500

plus tyres and onroad costs

yeah the car was built on the 7th month (what ever month that was) so it should get in.

[RadiuM]

ahh well, 'nother 150$ to budget for

is the 15% import duty on the cost of the car, so if the car is $2300 the 15% import duty would be around $345??

[warps]

Import duty is on the FOB cost + shipping = purchase price + auction etc fees + shipping. they then charge GST on top of that as well.

[gtrken]

err no Import duty is on the FOB ( free on board ) cost only, which is auction price plus agent cost and internal freight ( usually 90,000 yen )

ie car cost is $2300 plus agent fee etc $1343 = $3643 x 15% =$547

[sidewaymambo]

don't forget it, the mose car will has body lowered, so add the insurance in case shxx happen.

btw, there are some way to save the tax on (FOB+ auction house fee), but I might not allow to say here, so if you want to know more PM me.

Have a look at the J-Spec Website.

They have a very good import calculator there. Lists all the charges too.
