What should you know about before importing a car/bike Part-1

April 2nd, 2007 under Auto Things to Know and Automobile.

Overview:

Thanks to Indian growth story, Cult bike maker Harley Davidson is likely to make its Indian foray soon. While dhoom 1 and Dhoom 2 have given a definite dimension to India’s premium bike market, Rolls Royce and Maybach are already getting decent numbers in their order book. Many youngsters and business honchos are following their sports or film’s hero and love to ride their dream machines.

Here are some rules and regulations which you must know when you are importing cars or bikes. When Sachin imported Ferrari and when Kingfisher Vijay Mallaya imported Lamborghini these regulations and the consequent uproar flashed in our TV screens. A complete knowledge on this will help you to import your dream machines and enjoy!

For importing a new bike you have to pay 105 percent duty and100 percent duty for a used one. In case of cars, for a completely built unit or CBU you have to pay 111 percent duty (60% on CBU imports plus countervailing duties and other levies). Whereas the duty on “completely knocked down” or CKD models which are assembled in country, is only 38 to 48 percent depending on engine displacement. These are based on EXIM policies (export and import policy) which are framed on 2002. Here are the few terminologies and conditions you must know

Customs duty: Tariff imposed on import/export on autos and auto ancillaries. In this year budget peak rate of Customs duty from 12.5 per cent to 10 per cent and also Central Sales Tax (CST) from 4 per cent to 3 per cent.

Excise Duty: Excise Duty is an indirect tax levied and collected on the goods manufactured in India. In last year’s Budget had reduced the excise duty on small cars (petrol engines within 1200cc and diesel engines within 1500cc) to 16 per cent, while maintaining it at 24 per cent for all other cars and utility vehicles.

Homologation: Process of certifying that a particular car is roadworthy and the Pune-based Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) provide this clearance. According to existing norms, every original car model brought into the country by an individual or a manufacturer must have homologation clearance. Even domestic car manufacturers need a homologation certificate for new models. There are some exclusions as well

•Manufacturers can import left hand drive vehicles only for testing and research purposes.
•Individuals importing top-end cars can waive off the testing — or homologation — requirements. Any individual can import a vehicle priced above Rs 20 lakh without sending it for road-worthiness tests.
•Import of new vehicles is only permitted through Customs ports at Nhava Sheva, Kolkata, Chennai, Delhi Air Cargo and at ICD, Tughlakabad
•Very important note for Non Residential Indians (NRIs) – individuals coming to India for permanent settlement after two years of continuous stay abroad can bring in a car provided the vehicle has been in their possession for at least one year abroad. This now ensures that individuals coming to India do not bring in an absolutely new car.

An example will help to understand things better..
If X wishes to buy Suzuki GSX R 1300 Hayabusa(dhoom bike), here is the route ?
Import bikes prices in India are a tricky thing.
Since they can only be imported you will just have to find a reputable importer! The price you can expect to pay for a new bike is based on the following:

Price of bike in the country you wish to buy or the country the dealer has contacts in. + Freight charges + Import Duty @105% + Misc charges.
Eg. NEW from the US $10000 USD(Rs 4,50,000) + $500 Freight + $10500 + $500 = $21500 USD(Rs 10 lakhs).

Import vehicles duty and license structure:

Import of passenger cars / Jeep / Multi-utility vehicles / motorcycles / scooters / mopeds etc. are restricted items of import and can be imported against an import license. However, individuals coming to India on Transfer of Residence after two years continuous stay abroad and other importers may import these vehicles without a license but on payment of customs duty. The various customs duties leviable on vehicles imported into India are as follows:

Customs duty for second hand vehicles

Vehicle	Basic Duty	Addl. Duty	Spl. Addl. Duty	Total Duty
Cars	105%	32%	4%	More than 150%
Motor cycles/scooters/ moped	105%	16%	4%	More than 125%

Customs duty for new vehicles

Vehicle	Basic Duty	Addl. Duty	Spl. Addl. Duty	Total Duty
Cars	60%	32%	4%	More than 110%
Motor cycles/scooters/ moped	60%	16%	4%	More than 85%

Click here for rules and regulations to be followed when importing vehicle and for complete duty structure on vehicles and their parts/ancillaries

Troubles with Second hand vehicles:

The restrictions/conditions imposed on import of cars by importers for commercial purposes shall not be applicable in the case of passengers bringing their own car on Transfer of Residence. However, these imports shall be subject to the condition that the vehicle should have right hand steering and controls (applicable on vehicles other than 2 and 3 wheelers). Value of these vehicles for the purpose of levy of customs duty is CIF value, where C stands for the cost of the goods, I is the insurance and F is the freight. Cost in the case of new vehicles is the transaction value between the seller and the buyer, however in the case of old and used vehicles cost is arrived at by taking value of the vehicle in year of manufacture and after allowing depreciation at following rates.

•For every quarter during 1st year 4%
•For every quarter during 2nd year 3%
•For every quarter during 3rd year 2.5%
•For every quarter during 4th year 2%
•Thereafter subject to a maximum
depreciation of 70%

Here are the few useful sites you must visit before importing your dream machine
http://www.cbec.gov.in
http://www.dhi.nic.in

Since the guidelines are very strict and the duties are very high many follow grey market for buying thier dream machines. Here’s the economictimes report on muscle bike’s grey market. Government is checking the loopholes aggresively, pay the duty and enjoy you dream machine with complete satisfaction.

Bored with economics, relax! in the following posts we will have a look on popular imported bikes in India such as Suzuki Hayabusa, Yamaha R1, Kawasaki Ninja,Honda CBR and also about great Audi, Bentley and Porsche cars.

I have lived in India 10 years. Through good contacts in the bearacracy there I have had recent direct communications with top officials at customs in Mumbai that indicate a relaxation of duties on used motorcycles. For vehicles older than 3 years they quoted 40%. From the sound of your article I may be in for a big surprise when my Harley reaches Mumbai. I think I will cancel my shipment. Thanks, Jim

Peak customs duty on Completely Built Units (CBUs) is likely to drop by 10% in the next union budget. This means imported cars will get more dearer from next year. Also the strengthening of indian rupee versus euro and dollar importing non homologated models cheaper.

149% for old.for old bike MSRP will be considered and not the price at which you buy.However there will depreciation which you can claim.for 1st year 16%.2nd 12% and subsequent year 10% with max limit of 70%.Then after depreciation 149% duty will be levied .Individuals importing other than thru transfer of residence will be levied penalty. registration cost is 21% of bike price import duty shipping charge.

Dear Sir,

During my recent visit to China I had the opportunity of trying out electric cars and looked quite affordable and bit bigger than our own REVA electric car.

What are the procedures in importing the car. In one of your post you have indicated that the electric cars do no attract certification as well excise duties.

Could you kindly guide me on this.

Warm regards,

what a stupid customs policy here. look around in the world how great bikes and cars are there. indians abroad drive all these motors. if they are allowed by customs to bring all those vehicles into india, how well aware the public will be of those quality vehicles and how much international business will improve. but these cheap vehicle manufacturers in india will not allow other quality vehicles to enter into india becoz their cheapo models will find no place in the market.

anyone pls advise what will be the approx cost for the same
thanks
103 shek Jul 26th, 2010 at 8:06 pm

@sadhik- sadhik just forget about buying and importing a car to india these are the reasons
1) second hand car should not be old than three years as you mentioned 1999-03 so it is already more than 7 years old. you cant import the car
2) the price of customs is bloody high if you are buying a car for 4 lakhs indian rupees in UAE you will be charged just the customs tax at 105% which is 4 lakhs 50,000 rupees + other tx+ misc = so totally it will come around 30 lakhs . why you want to import just buy that new car only in inda.

@rockxen- In UK cars of 1960 model import has been banned long back. there are certain cars of recent year of manufacture only those you can import. TOTALLY YOU CANNOT DO THAT.

@Vijay- if you getting a bike from india you can do that at very less tax rate of UAE, tell me which model and which is the country you want to import it to Dubai.

@phanishwar- allright if you bike is costing 70,000 rupees then only custom tax at 105% would be 1 lakh 40 thousand and other tax around 50,000 and other certification charges around 10,000 and other frieght charges around 15,000 so it would be toatally comming around 4 lakh indian rupees .
MY ADVICE BETTER BUY A COOL CAR IN INDIA RATHER GIVING THESE INDIAN CUSTOM BUSTEADS.

133 bhupinder Feb 13th, 2011 at 6:49 pm

Hi, I’m from Birmingham UK I was looking at exporting a bike to India. The costs are too high and will get too much hassle in India. I realised that you can buy a brand new Yamaha R1 in India or Honda CBR 1000

You can go on the Yamaha motor India website contact the dealers who sell these big bikes…. Generally Yamaha r1 will cost you around 11.5 lakhs which is about the same if you buy a brand new one from England… the good thing is if you buy from India you will not have to pay any taxes.

Even with luxury cars you buy brand new or used luxury cars for very good value in India.. I seen a few Mercedes on Ebay going for good value.

I wanted to export a Yamaha Raptor 700cc quad bike from the UK, If anyone ever finds out where I can get one from in India please E-mail me on bhupi4719@hotmail.co.uk or

00447727201792

Planning to buy a new car (4WD) and use it for two years and take it on Transfer of Residence to India. Can anyone help me in advising:

I have to return to India to open a branch office of our company in New Zealand.
I have talked to shipping companies and customs agents in India and all advised I would have to pay around 180% duties & taxes.
Quite frankly I think Indian officials who pocket this cash are the ones we need to ‘make disappear’.
How long will this rip-off continue? Why should we tolerate it?
This rip-off prevents Indians having better things in life as it costs too much.
No wonder the Chinese are kicking our fat good-for-nothing beaurocratic asses.
Even Pakistan has a better import policy.
I say Indians: we don’t have to tolerate it anymore. THEY HAVE TO GO!!!!!!!

Hello. I know more or less the registration costs of imprting vehicles, but I do not know about the taxes or the homoligatin number. If I bring thr vehicle out of tialand into the UK do I need to pay taxes and need a homoligation number.
It would be good if you could answer these questions for me.

Kind Regards.

Our stupid government officials just want to pocket all our hard earned money so that they can buy F’n luxury cars in India while we can’t own such beauties.

I say no foreigners should ever invest in India. Let our Rupee fall down and let this government suffer.
