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 new commercial registrations. Australia's SEVS sch. Enforcement in Thailand carries fines from THB 5,000 to THB 500,000 under Customs Act B.E. 2560 (2017) s.202, s.242 (typical personal cases are handled as civil infringements).

Documentation required

• Check destination requirements

Leaving with this item

Exporting a motorcycle from Thailand 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/thailand.
