Importing a car from USA, what do i need to know?

Postby Basspower » Sun Jan 01, 2006 8:10 pm

I have a car in Kentucky/Usa. It s a V8 4400cc 1996.
If i ship the car to Cyprus, do i have to pay taxes? how long can i keep it there?
can i leave the car there or do i have to export it?
i am a Cy resident.
anybody can help?

i tried emailing the Cy customs... their answer: ''check our website..blah blah blah'' it didnt help.

The taxes on large engined cars are horrendous; alos at one stage you had to get permission to import a LHD car into Cyprus but I ma not sure if that is still in force.

I will try to dig up the tax figures tomorrow.

I was out with the owner of one of the major Supermarket chains here, he has a black 735Li; I have seen the new BMW 635i convertible.
