Beside the price (more than 4000$), importing a vespa sidecar from indonesia may not be an easy task...
Problem No 1 Shipping
Shipping to France would be:
Freight: US$ 135/cbm x 3.5 cbm =US$ 472.50
Document fee US$ 10/shipment =US$ 10.00
Trucking to Jakarta Port & Custom =US$ 95.00
Wooden crating box =US$ 100.00
Total shipping cost US$ 677.50. ( not doot to door service).
Figures still missing:
- other costs (bringing the vespa from the nearest port to your door's home),
- french import duty, I assume at least 25% :-(
- any import policy.
The person I've discussed with has been shipping some scooter to USA, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Portugal and Norway.
At the end it's only money problem....
Problem No 2 insurance and papers
In order to drive or even insured these beautiful vehicles, we need some legal papers.
I've contact the FFVE (La Fédération Française des Véhicules d'Epoque):
"Your
vehicle must be older than 25 years in order to be elligible for a
"carte grise de collection" We need also the vehicle indonesian papers
(translate by an authorized person = 100$ or more), and the formular
846A given by the border authority. Add to this a free formular and
your reglement 45 euro"
more soon...
