Title: International Shipping Costs
Post by: n/a on June 20, 2005, 14:53:39

Does anyone know the rough costs to ship a Pagoda from the US (East Coast) to Germany or the NEtherlands?

I shipped a non-113 in 1995 from florida (jax) to germany for around $800....I'm sure it is quite a bit more these days.  Plus this was a small & very light car.

They could not be all that expensive.  My last Pagoda was sold to a guy in Germany.  The shipping company came to my garage to pick up the car and sent it onto Long Beach where it was put into a container. Next Stop - Germany.

Yes, the numbers are correct.
Payed about the same in 1995 from Westcoast.

However, if you want to get it registered in Germany don't forget customs (10 %, 15 %??) and value-added tax (16 %, soon to be 20 % :(  :( ) on all the price including shipment!

Hi Guys,

And don't forget the dreaded TUV if you're going to DE.  We just had a monthlong nightmare trying to get the XJS's jazzed up suspension past them.  What ridiculous over-regulation (which in my opinion is going to cripple the German economy because no politician has the guts to do anything about it)!  And also petrol is now over $6 in NL and taxes are going up in DE... Sorry for the rant; it's just that people in tech transfer see the slow-motion train wreck that's coming.

Trice,
hear what your saying. The UK goverment was talking about banning people from working on their own cars, you would have to take it to a garage. What nonsense
