    Thumbs up

    Ok going to start looking at importing a car

    need a ball park figure of charges that will go on top of the purchase price

    If i purchase at say 11k FOB that covers Japan side

    How much is shipping insurance, whats the Avg cost of stamp duty on an item of this price?
    of course there is gst on that price (thats easy enough to work out)

    then how would if cost to get compliance (yes its a sprinter)

    basically asking what is the cost of an 11k car landed and complied with all government charges and duties.

    thanks and regards
