Correct Greywulf, I forgot about that. I first started looking into this when the bike was only a few years old.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(over 5yrs).... plus all the extra's..... problem would be... how much value selling in country of origin, vs trying to buy the same thing in the Phils? If we are going to live there 10-15yrs, than maybe absorbing that 'duty' charge is tolerable... but the 'unknown' is going to be the port/container charges. Having experienced that in NZ when I came here in the 1990's... it was an absolute rip off for the wharfie's 'container charge' no matter what is inside, was a flat rate 'screw you' charge for emptying a container. It was actually CHEAPER to pay to have the container trucked to a secure storage area, take my vehicles out myself (car/bike) and get it trucked back when empty. I have a horrible suspicion that the 'skin tax' would creep in somewhere in the non Govt charges from what I read on here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I shipped over a 20 foot container 10 years ago, I was hit with an additional 17,000 php 'release fee' by the shipper - I was willing to pay this but never got a receipt for it funnily enough! I assume this was the 'skin tax' you mentioned. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably made getting the container almost impossible I bet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was new to the game but wise enough to know not to push it and just pay up otherwise we'd probably still be waiting for the container! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are going to live there 10-15yrs, I have never seen it recommended to try and import a vehicle of any type here. If I remember correctly, you might pay 100% of the value THEY declare on it. Just buy something here. Shipping containers and vehicles are not comparable, when it comes to importing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comparison being made between the two was that there would undoubtedly be some form of 'additional fee' charged as was the case with my container.
