Import of Vehicle

Post new topic

DavidvT

Hi
I have a vehicle that I bought 3 years ago and have been using it outside Malaysia.
Now I would like to import it to Malaysia for my own personal use, NOT to sell.
Can somebody please tell me what are the criteria's they look at?

Gravitas

Age of vehicle mainly but the import duties are very high. You need a long term visa of some kind as well I think

The vehicle must be right hand drive too. This link explains the local and import duties

Best to find a licensed Agent and get them to quote container shipment plus all duties

Thank you Gravitas.
Can you recommend a reputable Licensed Agent in Penang?
