Only the state of Virginia would allow a RHD to be registered in the States. I'm not living there, so that's probably not going to be happening.

Is it really possible to import LHD car and drive it in Malaysia? Of course, I don't mind driving it on the wrong side of the road. Just abit of a hassle, but is it even legitimate to get it register?

EDIT ADD: May I have a name or two of the 'forwarding agents' that you guys are talking about? I have no clue what/ who they are. PM me if necessary ^^ Thanks~!

thinking of bringing back a DC5 1998cc 2001 from UK (currently studying here) by the end of next year hopefully. did some research and calculation but i think that i might not be correct so sifus pls help me ya the car insurance here is expensive

so here is it (mostly taken from websites on the prices and some posts of some forumers here too)

Price in Year Manufactured (Yen) : 2,590,000 - (took from a website in earlier post)

thanks for the reply bro. meaning my calculation is wrong ar?

Yup

hehe thanks for the straight up answer bro. anyways, thank u very much bro. now that seems to be the full amount i have to pay right?

Anyone knows any forwarding agent in the US? my friend needs to ship a bike next months back to Malaysia...

due to recent event in customs, the discount from the director maybe hard to get up to that figure, do made adjustment to adsorb extra cost..

according to bro hankeymeal, i have to pay those amounts *up there* to clear it. hopefully i dont have to add much

here are the equation, assume that ur CIF is correct...

Duti Import = CIF X 30%
= 14,564 x 30%
= 4,369.20

Duti Eksais = ( CIF + Duti Import ) X 80%
= (14,564 + 4,369.20) x 80%
= 15,146.56

Duti Lain = (CIF + Duti Import + Duti Eksais ) X 10%
= ( 14,564 + 4,369.20 + 15,146.56 ) x 10%
= 3,407.98


Jumlah Cukai Jualan = Duti Import + Duti Eksais + Duti Lain
= 4,369.20 + 15,146.56 + 3,407.98
= RM 22,923.74

the total tax only then can entitled for discount

thanks alot man for the help. i think i need to put up atleast rm30k for it. incase it goes higher. if its cheaper then im all good

thanks again bro

Dependent... Discount may apply to CIF or total tax, but it makes no difference (results the same) in the final tax.

"Duti Lain" should be Sales Tax/Cukai Jualan
