Philippines Bans Certain Motor Vehicle Imports

uy ok yan..!!

pero sana pati ung tax system palitan na rin.

para pumasok na ung iba pang mga modelo ng sasakyan at yun na ang bibilhin ng mga consumers.. at mawawalan na ng demand para sa mga used-imported cars.

otep,

i'm afraid na kasama dito ang individual imports. la naman kasi nakasulat na mga large importers lang ang madadamay. so i assume na all importation (kasama ang mga balikbayan) of second hand vehicles ay bawal na with regards to the stated law.

guys, anything new on this? a friend of mine is thinking about bringing in his 1995 Toyota 4runner (v-6) from Canada. kung masyadong hassle baka hindi na.

thanks ahead!

bawal na pala import ang laki pa rin ng tax sa mga bnew. mukang ang mahihirap eh babalik nanaman sa mga owner type jeep.

they should've put proper regulations on this issue. sana may limit na import like 1 vehicle per person per year this is so that balikbayans and imports for personal use would still be allowed pero yung mass importers na nag-aauction ng mga sasakyan yung pagbawalan.

Pano ba nadedefine kung old car? what if its an old chassis with a new engine?

That's GOOD NEWS!

IMO, a huge percentage of these imported vehicles are luxury vehicles ie SUV's therefore di rin talaga nakakatulong pag import nito. The tag prices of these vehicles are still beyond the means of the average Pinoy family.

my friend can't sell his 4runner in Canada, kasi by law kailangan i-record lahat ng aksidente ng sasakya. eh, he got run into by a van or something, na total wreck, then toyota fixed it like new. the accident record won't alllow him to sell it for what he thinks is a fair price. since may business siya dito at puede naman gamitin dito (rh-drive siya), he's thinking of bringing it here na lang. mura daw freight, pero kinatakutan niya customs...
