2017 Car Import Tax Table
2017 Car Import Tax Table
I found the 2017 Import Tax Table on a Facebook post. Can anyone validate that this is the official rate table for importing cars? I would think that they would have at least said Cambodia on it, but what do I know?

Looks very different than the lists I used to have. They were also in Khmer and didn't go over 5000cc so the higher cc brackets are new to me too.

It does look to be different from past years. But the numbers appear to be in line with what I have expected to be the rates for 2017. I cannot understand why this information seems to be so hard to get. I have ask import companies and searched the internet without finding. I get quoted rates from the 2016 table, which in my case is $2K more than this chart. If you are able to source the 2017 Table, please post.AE86 wrote:Looks very different than the lists I used to have.

I know many expats (mainly Germans, Frogs, Brits and Irish) that don't buy a car because they are eye wateringly expensive. Strangely Australians don't seem to be bothered by it.
Example Cambodia
2002 Honda CRV - $8500
2010 Audi Q7 S Line 3.0 Diesel - $50000
2005 Toyota Prius - $10000
Example UK
2002 Honda CRV - $2500
2010 Audi Q7 S Line 3.0 Diesel - $25000
2005 Toyota Prius - $5000
Painful especially when Thailand is pretty well priced.

^^The only distinctions between vehicles that I know of are "regular" and "luxury", which attract (as of last year) a 20% higher tax rate. I don't know what "luxury" means though as I've seen cars that seem luxurious not be hit with the tax, and more utility like vehicles get hit.
If you want expensive, go to Singapore. Bloodly Volvos are nearly $200k!
In Japan cars are ridiculously cheap as well. My old neighbour had a twin turbo FD RX7 for sale for 190000 yen (about $1500), nothing wrong with it, and it didn't sell after a year. So he registered it again and kept driving it.YaTingPom wrote:I know many expats (mainly Germans, Frogs, Brits and Irish) that don't buy a car because they are eye wateringly expensive.

That's because cars in Australia are stupidly priced too. I saw a nice Alfa Romeo (mid range model, forgot exactly which) last year? and asked the owner how much, he replied "Ay-dee grand". I honestly thought he meant "18,000" and missed the "n" with his accent, until of course I discovered a new Alfa's price tag was 6 figures...YaTingPom wrote:Strangely Australians don't seem to be bothered by it.

Thai prices are due to local production. Compare with the imports in Thailand and you will find them even higher than in Cambodia. Trucks are on a lower tax tariff (import and road) where engine size doesn't matter. Go Tundra or Tacoma!

It's a shame those idiots drive on the correct side of the road. It's not like it would cost a lot to import cars from there to Cambodia.
A mate just bought a Fortuner which is pretty much a Hilux in a Tuxedo. $60k. (Designed by Australia built in Thailand!)

It seems that most of the Japanese cars that I have looked at here came from the US. Why are there not more cars being imported from Japan? Less shipping and good supply....
Because the Japanese drive on the same side as the UK...steelyRon wrote:AE86 wrote:^^The only distinctions between vehicles that I know of are "regular" and "luxury", which attract (as of last year) a 20% higher tax rate.

I imported a car from USA in 2009 and ended paying way less import tax than I expected from the table showed, maybe I got it wrong but I rather think a lesser known japanese brand with big output engine confused them.
We plan on visiting inlaws in LA next new year and I was considering buying a recent second hand CRV (or similar) to drive it a few weeks over there before putting it in a container toward here.
What taxes I am looking at? Let say I pick up a 2014 2.4l model.
Aside from taxation issues what would be the pro and cons?

Using the 2016 table, the import tax would be ( 18,600*137.6%=$25,593 ). Plus shipping from west coast ( 2,000 ), port Fees ( 1000 ), import agent ( 1000 ), Insurance ( 400 )...around 30,000..Barang_doa_slae wrote:I imported a car from USA in 2009 and ended paying way less import tax than I expected from the table showed, maybe I got it wrong but I rather think a lesser known japanese brand with big output engine confused them.

If you were able to use the 2017 Tax Chart, you could save around $2,000.
The pros is you could likely get an honest car that had not been totaled, stolen, flooded, heavily damaged or its odometer rolled back. The cons is the hassle of working out the details and the heavy cost.
