The actual cost of importing is made up of expenses in Singapore, not the shipping from another country.

For example, my import cost a total of $9000 to get on the road, of which only $1500 was shipping/crating/insurance.

For starters you will need the Certificate Of Compliance/Conformity for a new bike. This needs to have all the technical details and bike-specific emissions tests (note: not model-specific for the bike type, but the ACTUAL results for your bike). Without it you don't stand ANY chance of importing a vehicle.

My experience is well documented here http://f800gsrider.blogspot.com/2009/04 ... uk-to.html

curiousgeorge, good blog. why is your bike in km/h? was it a grey import from europe? what's if it is in mph? would singapore allow mph speedo?

just the other day, i saw the pizzahut delivery honda cub with a JB registration number plate! the guy was doing his delivery for singapore pizzahut!

Yes, my Honda Valkyrie was a parallel import from the US... speedo is in mph.

Common to see JB plates on delivery bikes... they also ride home to JB every night.

Major pain in the ass to import a bike.
