Importing Car From U.S.

[redorange]

Hi Folks,

Just wondering if any of the members here have any experience with importing a car into the philippines from the U.S. Any info is greatly appreciated. Oh by the way, if possible please, keep the replies in english as my tagalog is very weak, thanks.

Not worth the money and hassle unless you are going to bring in an exotic not found in the Philippines. I also considered it but even the freight companies who would make money if I sent a car didn't think it was a good idea. I remember some years back some guy shipped a BMW to the Philippines and when he went to Customs to claim it they could not find the car, eventually they did find it but it was being driven around by a judge who knew someone in Customs and took a liking to the BMW. So besides having to pay the duties and fees you also have to pay bribes and have to worry if you will even get your vehicle.
