Tax free..... no limitation on age of car (newer better in worth if you indent to sell), if you have a spouse/friend (Malaysian, more than 9 months in UK) that can import the S2000 (maybe with tax, but reduced greatly because of > 5 years), you can import another ( to sell to others, you'll make a tidy profit of up to 2x more than the car's worth)

Here a tip I have to mention...

... the car if possible must remain as stock as possible so the custom department has no excuse to charge you extra. Even extra cd-player/sound/video system adds value to the car. (Removed the "extra" things in separate boxes, together with your personnel items, if shipped together in a container with your car).

As leslieng, you mentioned heavily moddied... This may cause a problem. If engine/parts modified, but no outward/obvious appearance, it should be fine. You declaration of chassis and engine no. must be supported with documentation, or at least declared during application of AP.

For more info call MITI, the tax free professional AP... (maybe still applicable). If not you'll still qualify for the rather low tax (because of depreciation)

When ur car manufacturing date? Mine was in sept 1999, the docket price is €25000.. And the exchange rate was 4.8.. U should check the docket price 1st matey..

The shipping duration is around 5 - 6 weeks..

There's no diff if u bring in the s2k from eu, i brought my honda from uk too..

1. you can google internet or if ive not mistaken there is a list on cars docket price at MITI website, try to find the article from document 11(doc 11 is about bringing car back home) coz i had downloaded it last years and sadly couldnt remember where did i save it...

2. ok im not a economist so im assuming VAT=valorem added tax from my 101 econs years ago..so the docket price is the price when the car just rolled out the factory without any additional tax+excise or whatsoever(correct me if im wrong)...damn pure price FTW!!!
3.well its damn alot runners you can choose!!..what i can advise you is get few quotes and compare them, you can get reference from forumers here..well worst case scenario if dont get one, i'll get your things done with competitive pay!(hope its more than my annual leave trade off cost =p)

personally, an interesting case since its related to free AP on experts coming back home..well feel free to holla us for info..the best is ring MITI and ask the procedures, dont forget to get the officer's name

the best case since lame "please calculate my tax" thread...
btw, s2000!!!! damn rad car!!...no interest in lotus? hehe coz im dying the drive one.. =p

How much have you been spending on your s2k? Tats hell lots of mod. Wondering wat can I do with a 500bhp s2k. I own a s2k too, all stock though. I rmb someone said in the earlier reply that moded car may be charged more for taxes. May b you can try to ask those recond car dealer in msia. I have seen some dealer selling s2k in mudah.my. Kindly update me too if you get to know the docket price. Cheers!!

ok 1 question..
what did MITI tell you?

Tats the price after tax + their earning. The one we need is the docket price which i think shd b +- rm140k, not rily sure though. Pls pls update me if you eventually found out the docket price or after you imported the car into msia eh ..
Btw, 1 noob question here. Wat sort of battery did s2k use? Was it NS60 or NS40(smaller 1)? Mine comes with a small cute NS40??

Hi

You have 2 choices:
1 - Apply for "Program Pakar" incentive where you can bring back 2 cars tax free under 1 name (whomever applied). Please check Ministry of Human Resources for application forms and conditions. You can also bring another car under personal AP for your wife but this car you have to pay tax for.
2 - Apply for 2 personal AP, both your wife and yourself can apply for 1 AP each on condition that you live legally oversea for more than a year either as a student or working. You have to pay tax on these cars and dont forget that on personal APs, you can apply for discounts from Customs for up to 30%. As far as I know, on personal APs, they do not use the fix CIF value yet. They will use the docket price thus making the calculation a tad more confusing. Hunt around for my post on my Tax calculation in this thread and use it as an estimate. its post #427

In your case, you will have to change one car name into your name to make the AP application easier but you can talk to your agent where he can help in this issue. Dont worry, the shipping agent that you use to send your container over, assuming you are using Malaysian shipping company, can help. They will use an agent in Port Klang to handle the unloading of the container and this guy can help in applying for AP and tax/custom clearance for some fees.

If for some reason you wanted to do it yourself, these are the basic things that needed doing(this is for option 2):
1 - Apply for AP from MITI using form JK69 (3 AP, as 2 for cars and 1 for items) - they will need photocopy of your visa, V5 document, Insurance cert and plane ticket stub among other things. They have the power to call you for an interview but normally all you do is drop the form off at MITI and pick it up after 3-5 days. AP is only valid for 3 month so please only apply when the container is on the way.
2 - Port Klang - There is a lot of going back and forth here as you need to go between Port itself and Bangunan Kastam near Northport to get clearance for your container. Once they open your container, you can remove your stuff and the cars will be parked at the port for custom clearance. After that back to Bangunan Kastam for them to calculate your tax. This can take a few days as they might not believe your v5 and go there to inspect the car themselves.
3 - Discounts - You can apply for 20% discounts from Pengarah Kastam Selangor at Westport and another 10% from Putrajaya. But this is back then, I am not sure whether they still give these discounts anymore. This is where using an agent will make your life so much easier.
4 - Port Klang - Once you get the discount letters, bring it back to Bangunan Kastam to recalculate you taxes. Go to a bank to do a Bankers Draft on the exact amount addressed to Ketua Pengarah Negeri and bring it back to Bangunan Kastam to pay for the tax.
5 - Port Klang - All that done, you will go back to where your car is parked, you will have to pay parking fees (something like RM8 per day) and drive the car out. On the way out, they will check your paperwork for one last time at the gate and you are free. It is best to find trade plates for your car as you need to drive it on the road and JPJ/Police like to do roadblocks on Port Klang roads.
6 - Puspakom - Take your car and K1 form to nearest Puspakom centre and they will do checks (they will check tint, engine and chasis number and pillars around the door). I think it was RM25 or something.
7 - Insurance - get insurance for your car.
8 - eDaftar - this is the wtf moment. They just started doing this and theres only 3 company that can do it. They are lazy as hell too, whenever I call theres no one answering the phone. Check out this link : JPJ Portal
8 - JPJ - Bring your K1 and Puspakom cert (insurance cert if you have it, if not its ok as it is computerised and JPJ should have on the system that you have insurance for your car) Make sure that the company that did the edaftar has send the info over (WTF I thought its Edaftar as in ELECTRONIC) before you go to JPJ.
