Question

I want to import my mini from the uk to hong kong .Can anyone help and how much will it costs?

Answer 1

you have to find out how much the import tax is on vehicals in hong kong, it's not only shipping costs.

Answer 2

OK, first if you are importing the car because you are moving from Hong Kong to the Uk, then you may not have to pay any taxes.  If you are moving your permanent residence from Hong Kong to the UK, then you will move your belongings (personal effects).  Anything that you have owned and used for 6 months prior to moving is fee of import duties and taxes

If you want to import it separately, you will have to pay the freight, Customs Duty and Import VAT.  The freight cost I would guess at around £500.  Best to get a removal company to quote and they will buy space in a container.  Airfreight would be seriously costly.

You will pay 5% Customs Duty for a cars and 17.5% Import VAT.  The value will be based on an estimated current value for the car - Customs have access to Glass's guide, as used by UK car traders.

The Value for Customs is the value plus the cost of getting the car to the UK, so if the car is new, it will be the price paid plus any shipping charges. If its not new 91 year old or more), the current UK value will apply

So if the car is valued at £10000, the duty is 5% = £500

If the car is new and cost £15000. the duty is £15500 (add on the £500 for freight) = £775.

The Value for VAT is the value plus the Duty, so for the car valued at £10000, this would be £10500 x 17.5% = £1837.50

Total taxes payable on a car valued at £10,000 = £2337.50

As a rough estimate Value x 25% plus £500 for freight and taxes
