erm i saw alot of ppl sellings singapore cars nowadays

1) I'm thinking about buying a 1990 Nissan Skyline R32 GT-S from Japan. From their end, it will cost me about USD 4800 (~RM15,000) including shipping to Port Klang. Can someone help me calculate the costs incurred once the car lands in Port Klang and registered for Malaysian roads? Thanks! I believe the brand new price (when the car first came out) was about RM105,000 in Japan.

Also, would it be possible to register it as a non-road use car or just have it out of the port without registering with JPJ? What if I intend to bring the car in just for modifications at a local specialist workshop before re-exporting to USA/Canada?

Thanks!

22 years... Tax would no be much, if it was based on the old calculation.... Shoot Kastam an email for estimate.

Workshops should have temporary license plate to drive the car to the workshop

I have been working in Japan and will return to Malaysia to do my own business at the end of 2012. I plan to bring back my car which I have own for 4 years.

To apply for AP, I noted the following from MITI website:

Applicant must submit the application together with a certified copy of the following documents:

- International passport.
- Working or studying visa overseas. Dependent visa are not entitled or allowed to apply. (Except Government officials posted overseas).
- Identity card.
- Letter of offer to work or study overseas.
- Letter of job termination or completion of study.
- Malaysian driving license.
- Approval letter to study overseas from the sponsor of the scholarship or loan.
- Certificate of Registration of the Vehicle overseas.
- Insurance Certificate of the Vehicle overseas.
- Purchase Invoice of the Vehicle overseas.
- Completed and typed Customs Form JK69.
- Boarding pass/flight ticket back to Malaysia.

My question to the experiences forum members as follows:
1) Am I required to certify all the above documents? Seems like a lot of work to do so. And if so, who can certify them?
2) What kind of proof does MITI require to proof that one is permanently back in Malaysia? Will they require a letter from the new employer or the boarding pass is sufficient? What if you are going to do your own business in Malaysia?

Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone,

I need an advice...

hi there roobaroo,

regret to hear that u don't even have at least your international license when u purchase your car. i believe most of us and even myself went to the extend to obtain a UK driving license for our AP application process.

the normal cases that i've heard in regards to rejected ap application is the insufficient duration of car ownership in the UK which is less than 9months. for this cases their car ownership in malaysia has been extended to more than 2 years, I've heard 4 years as opposed to normal ownership of 2 years. For your case, its my first time hearing it.

i reckon the best way is to proceed with appeal letters for a few times. i'm hoping that they will approve your AP with additional conditions such as longer ownership of the car or maybe even permanent ownership of the car if your willing to go to that extend to offer them. you could even try to negotiate to pay a higher tax for the car but i'm not sure whether it could be done. for other method which is abit risky, you could pm me.

Roobaroo,

Yes new MITI regulations stated that you need to have valid driving license in country where you study/work. Last time, malaysian driving license is sufficient. I understand you rarely drove it in ireland but that is the regulation now.

Anyway, if you were in Ireland less than 12 months, you can argue that malaysian driving license is valid to be used there. But if it is more than 12 mths, you need to proceed with the appeal i am afraid. Hope everything goes well for you.

anyone in this forum knows any trustable agent which helps to convert Msia driving lisence to UK driving lisence? Besides, anyone can give the link(email) to contact MITI regarding the AP and car tax issue? Thanks.

Try this. I have used this before http://idl-iaa.com . can valid for ten years max

Hi all, I'm thinking how much is the total tax i need to pay for a 9 months old bmw x6 xdrive 35i if I already got my AP and importing it from UK to Malaysia. approximately 47k pounds to buy it when at UK and is currently 9 months old. Thank you. Your infos are appreciated. ^.^

i'm assuming that I'm paying an extra of 115% for the total tax of a 9 months year bmw x6 35i right? means rm240k for buying it at UK and a total of rm260k for the tax? so total cost for the car will be around rm500k right?

For the AP, I just need to pay for the application form which is rm2 if it get approved? and is there any other hidden cost for importing the car to Malaysia except for the AP,Tax and shipping?

Importing A Vehicle To Malaysia

Unfortunately this is going to be a hassle. It is perhaps the best idea to just put your car into storage or in the care of a friend while you are in Malaysia. However if you really have to bring your car the following will be helpful.

The imposition of very high import duties make owning a non Malaysian made car somewhat expensive. Import duties run to as high as 300%. Consequently the vast majority of cars in Malaysia are locally produced ones. Cost of maintenance and parts for foreign cars are also factors to be considered. Needless to say if your car is rare or indeed not available in Malaysia these factors become paramount.

Shipping charges, documentation and bureaucracy may also cause you problems, although hiring a shipping agent will alleviate most of the stress involved, charges will of course be imposed.

To import your car, you must apply for an Approval Permit (AP) from the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI).

In order to apply for this permit your car must be registered under your name for at least 3 years. The following documentation must then be presented and processed:

1. A letter of application addressed to the Ministry Of International Trade and Industry (MITI) for the importing of a car from your home country to Malaysia for personal use.
2. A JK69 form must be purchased MITI and duly completed.
3. Documentation indicating proof of ownership. Typically this will be a purchase receipt or transfer of ownership/letter from the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.
4. The original and photocopied registration.
5. The cars original insurance documents and/or a letter from the insurance company.
6. Your work permit and letter of contract from your employer in Malaysia.
7. A photocopy of your passport.

All these documents must be presented to the officer in charge at the MITI offices, who will also conduct a short interview. Processing of your application typically takes seven working days, if all goes well you will be issued an Approval Permit allowing you to import your car. The permit is valid for only 3 months, if you do not import your car by then, you will have to go through the entire process all over again.

Upon the arrival of your car, you are required to collect it yourself from the port and then you will need to apply for a permit from the Malaysian Road Transport Department or "Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan", this entails more registration paperwork which of course will include your proof of ownership and registration documents, a car inspection and the payment of the import duties.

Purchase price of the vehicle can be taken into account in the calculation of the Customs Value and this is only an estimation of the calculations of Customs Duties. However, Royal Malaysian Customs has docket price of the particular vehicle to determine the calculation of the exact Customs Value. The calculation of Customs Duties also depends on the original registration date (birth date), engine capacity, date of import and model of the vehicle.
