found it

3.1. Motor cycles
The rate of import duty on motor cycles is differentiated according to the engine’s capacity and ranges between 6% and 8%. To find out the exact rate of import duty on a motorcycle, you must log into the abovementioned address and enter the TH 8711.

The excise duty on motor cycles is:

* for motor cycles of an engine capacity exceeding 600 but not exceeding 1000 c.c.: £1 per c.c.
* for motor cycles of an engine capacity exceeding 1000 c.c.: £1.50 per c.c.


Worth to note that:

3.2.2. Differentiations according the vehicle’s age
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the customs or other legislation, used cars means those registered in any country.

The total excise duty payable on used cars is reduced in accordance with the reduction rates as fixed in a Notice issued by the Director of Customs. To determine the reduction rates, the Director takes into consideration objective criteria, such as the age of the car, the kilometers it has done, its general condition, its gear box, its make and type.

It is to be made clear that for the registration of vehicles of an age exceeding 5 years, the competent authority’s prior approval must be secured.

On payment of the duties and taxes, Customs will issue to you Form C.72A which you must produce to the Inland Transport Department with the other relevant documents for the inspection and registration of the vehicle.


I would just contact them
