Motorcycles may require documentation or declaration

Details

Motorcycle imports face significant duty barriers in many developing countries. India charges 100% basic customs duty on imported motorcycles for commercial imports. Brazil applies up to 35% duties. EU imports require Euro 5 emissions compliance for. Enforcement in New Zealand carries fines from NZD 400 to NZD 5,000 under Biosecurity Act 1993 s.157, s.155; Customs and Excise Act 2018 (typical personal cases are handled as civil infringements).

Leaving with this item

Exporting a motorcycle from New Zealand follows the vehicle-export process — deregistration and export declaration, with destination import rules the harder constraint.

Practical advice

Personal-import requires destination age + emission + safety compliance. Permit + IDP from home country. See /vehicles/new-zealand.
