Which Exhaust

[joel 0]

Need to get a new exhaust for the E30, as it is a bit buggered and dont think it will pass the next warrent.

Was thinking of getting one from overseas like this? I think it is the same system as the one on bmw2002.com?

or would I be better off just getting a second hand one off another E30??

Cheers,

Nick

yeah man, you'll get hit hard with both duty tax (10% for car parts) and GST (12.5%) see here:

This seems to be a hit and miss, I just imported $1500 worth of suspension from Turner Motorsport in the US, and even though the package got held up in customs, I didn't get charged GST or duty in it. I fully expected to pay GST at least on it.

Cheers for the reply, so does it come into the port and get on sent to you or do you have to pick it up. Is it safe??

Thanks alot

Mine got delivered to my door (via Fedex). I did expect to have to pick it up from their base, especially after they phoned me and told me that customs would not clear it.

My customs issue was because everything with a value of over NZ$1000 needs to have the importer registered with customs. I filled out a form and emailed it off, and it was done. The suspension turned up the next day.

From what I was reading, customs do not actually have an area for clearing goods, they rely on the company transporting the goods to hold and clear the goods on their behalf (someone on here might better explain this, and provide a few more accurate details). In my case, Fedex must have a customs clearance area.

What I ended up with was an import certificate that arrived with the goods as well, that must have been generated to allow it to clear customs.

Hope this is somewhat helpful,

Cheers

Nothing more than that Grant, each shipping/courier company will have a 'bonded' area where they have to keep all the non-customs cleared cargo.

Doing your own customs clearance is a piece of cake, dont let anyone take your money to do it. Most Customs officers are sweet if you dont try to pull a fast one. Be honest and 9/10 you'll get your goods cleared with no problems whatsoever. I even had one guy fill out the forms for me !
