Hello Everybody,
This is AmeyashoguN, from chembur Mumbai India currently riding RTR 180 (+ TVS Suzuki Shogun 96 Model Without Catcon), recently while i was searching for Yahama RD350, TZR, RD400 Daytona Edition & Ducati in affordable price. to buy next. On eBay motors (eBay international if you have anything better pls share) after searching I found neat & clean bike in San-Francisco area now if you convert the money into indian price it comes around Rs. 55,000/- or some according to current rate. ok now the question I know very little about imports & duty. if the duty is 100% than the bike cost will be Rs.1,10,000/- still it's great (for me) to buy that machine clean what will be hidden prices & trouble I might face? & about the customs duty & stuff
wat to check & papers how much for converting papers where to do how to do here in mumbai? want to know same for the cars please help For Genuine Buy don't want to get in trouble after the purchase.
thank you
waiting for reply

Ameyashogun- The whole importation of bikes has been discussed in detail in many different threads so if you do some more searching, you will find more information.

As for ebay international, its purely your call, because, there are risks of buying a bike (and making advance payment) from somebody you only know from an ad on the net. Anyway, here below is the Indian customs rules for importation in simple language (all valid till the 2011 govt budget).

(a) Used bikes: Only NRIs are given the privilege on TR(Transfer of Residence) to import one car or one motorcycle that they owned for their personal use in the foreign country, but unlike their personal effects that attract 30% customs, the bike will attract 110% customs, plus some education cess or tax plus some more which all work out to about 150%. Ofcourse, they will reduce some amount for depreciation from the total value (they have a fixed chart for depreciation). BUT, the bike should not be older than 15 years and the NRI should have owned it abroad for atleast 1 year continuously. Speedo reading km or mile is no problem. Also no problems with emission standards etc. Just that the NRI has to be eligible for TR, which is that- TR can be availed once every 3 years only and he should not have stayed in India for more than 6 months in the past 2 years. THEREFORE, permanent Indian residents are not allowed to import a Used bike. Full stop.

(b) New Bike: Either imported by NRI or Resident Indian attracts a penalty also, but all put together customs plus penalties etc should work out to lil less than 200% for NRI or Resident Indian.

even if you get the bike, if it doesnt have the requisite papers, you will not even be able to take it out from the port of landing. Too complicated IMO. Better option would be to save and go for a bike available locally ( all over india even!! ).

The issue of getting lost in getting the paperwork cleared etc is too big a burden.

Also if you underprice the invoice to show that the bike is cheaper than what you paid for it, the customs are gonna impose duty as per the structure they have and they do maintain records of pricing of stuff from all over the world. So they can impose duty as per their records/convenience which will be a bigger mess.
