are they properly imported?
I assume they were originally sourced in the UK?

Hi

Yep properly imported on the 06/04/2006 and registered here in Zug. They had the Swiss equivalant of the MOT tests done at the same time.

Sorry.... yes imported from the UK

I too have properly imported 2 motorbikes a Ducati ST3 from Singapore and an Enfield Bullet 500 Machismo from India. We relocated in Nov 09 and the bikes were finally registered in ZH in May and June.

As the original question in this thread was not answered I ask it again. Are there any restrictions in terms of time or additional costs as to if or when I am allowed to sell one or both of these bikes?

ignore.............

@John.. Just out of interest, how did you import/buy the Royal Enfield ? I heard there are many specialised companies based in Delhi who export them, how did it work for you ? Were you in India to purchase it or did you just order it online ?

I was living in India when I bought it then shipped it here when I moved here. It is a 2008 bike with very very low milage. Electric start, leather saddle bags etc. Interested???

I would love to buy it off you, but am leaving to China in a month! I'll be looking for one when I come back in 1 year though...

I've just returned to CH and was looking at importing my bike. Although I finally decided to sell the bike and buy another one here, I read that you have to keep it for one year from date of import to avoid paying the GST. Apparently, renting or loaning your vehicle during that period could also being you the attention of the custom office.

The road traffic office (Service des automobiles / Strassenverkersamt) should be able to confirm.

Here is a site with some unofficial information (unfortunately, I couldn't find any official documentation):

Given my original question on when I am allowed to sell has not been answered it may still be here when you get back......a few more miles on it though!

Enjoy China.

Exactly the information I was looking for. Many thanks!
