    Ferry,

    2 years ago I was busy getting a Honda PCX 150 to NL.

    The costs were so high that buying a new Honda PCX 150 in NL was much cheaper.

    High transport and insurance costs. Followed by insurance, import duties, VAT, etc.

    In short, don't do it.

    Theo

    That must be a very special motorcycle. Otherwise I don't think it's worth it.

    Perhaps packing it in a crate, so that you only pay for part of the container in which it is transported.
    You will need export documents, no idea how that works.
    Perhaps if you have found a bona fide transport company, they will arrange this, they can arrange the entire transport. I would say google for a transport company in Thailand and ask for a quote.

    However, when you arrive in the Netherlands, you will have to pay import duties. There is a certain calculation model for that. The motorcycle will have to go to the RDW for an inspection, license plate and registration, which also entails the necessary costs. Possibly also to pay the bpm, it is wise to see this at the tax authorities.
    I see that on thailandblog has been asked about implementation before, maybe check:

    Hi Ferry, I shipped a car to Australia (Fortuner) a few years ago. It went in a sea container. Went through a company that mainly ships 2nd hand cars to Africa and the Indian subcontinent. You could give them a call and see if they can send a motorcycle as a partial shipment. Firm is called Mahdi Motors in bkk. Ask for Junaid, tel. 0800805793.
    I would also ask courier Kerry who have offices everywhere. Another option is one of the international movers who also do partial container loads.

    NB: all registered motor vehicles leaving Thailand for good must first be deregistered.

    Success!

    First inquire whether the motorcycle used (motorbike or motorbike) is allowed on the Dutch road network.

    There are costs associated with natural motors assembled in Thailand are much cheaper than in NL, but:
    1. On top of the costs of transport, there is also the extra levy on vehicles and the VAT as well as the technical inspection costs.!
    2. First check whether your motorcycle can be admitted in terms of European and NL rules!

    I think it will be extremely costly and difficult.

    Just look at the prices for your model in Switzerland for example.

    Succes

    That model must be based on a type test.

    You must also have a conformity document.

    With regard to road safety, the bucket starts with the inspection of the frame for stiffness and strength.

    You can check if it is allowed elsewhere in the EU otherwise costly.

    Disassemble and send as used parts in different shipments?
    Then rebuild in the Netherlands and have it inspected and registered…

    The Thai state runs for a large part on import duties. So it could well be that there is also a hefty import duty on motorcycles, which you will NOT get back if you export such a thing.
    The same is true in the EU, albeit to a much lesser extent.
    In addition, there must be a type approval, otherwise you can forget it.
    Then comes the whole circus of taxation for import duties + 21% VAT, and the inspection at the RDW.

    I would sell the bike in TH and buy another one in Europe.

    I worked as a shipper for a petroleum company for 33 years and shipped both non-hazardous and hazardous goods with
    truck, plane and sea freight. Every 2 years training with exams for sending air freight and regular training for job freight. Learned if the naphtam reservoir is not cleaned, the goods are considered to be dangerous goods with a higher cost for shipping. I think this also applies to sea freight and the motor vehicle must be placed in a sea container without other goods. In the case of air freight, dangerous goods were placed on the aircraft individually with other dangerous goods and not in a container with other non-dangerous goods belonging to other persons. The reason is if there is something wrong with the dangerous goods, the entire container has been blocked for shipment or customs clearance. Just ask the company that will possibly do the shipping for you. Good luck sending.

    Thank you everyone for thinking along, I think taillandganger's response might be the cheapest to disassemble the motorcycle and send part and take the rest back in a suitcase is just a lot of work. In this case it concerns a Honda Cub of which a type approval exists in the Netherlands. RDW registration costs 200 euros. The purchase price for a used one is here 3500 bath.vrgr Ferry

      Hello Ferry
      Make sure you have the compliance form.
      You can request this from Honda.
      If this is NOT present, you can take it with you, also rebuild it, but you will not receive a license plate.

      Tip contact the RDW in Veendam before you make a final decision.
      They can best inform you there.

      Also note that due to the emission values ​​of an older engine block, it is a major risk.
