Hi everyone,
I've searched the forum and around the internet, but I'm finding lots of conflicting answers. Some people say "Older than 5 years prohibited", some say "Import tax is expensive", some say "Not worth it"...but I'm literally an hour across the border and can ride over with papers in hand.
Anyway, I'd like to bring a scooter into Vietnam, it's a 14' Vespa 125. It's already imported it from Japan and it's currently in Cambodia, so I can ride it across the border. It is my wife's (Vietnamese national) scooter, and we have already paid the Cambodian import tax on it, have sales receipt and such in her name, so proving ownership isn't difficult. Can also get it translated into Vietnamese. I also have the import agent I used to get it from Japan to Cambodia to verify it isn't stolen.
I'm wondering if anyone has taken their scooter over the Cambodian border to import? I've taken my car across the border before, but only with a temporary licence placard. Same with other bikes, but this time I'm looking to permanently import.
If anyone's gone this route before, any advice is appreciated.
Cheers,
