My 8 year old car is still in pretty good condition, so instead of scraping it, I was thinking whether I can deregister the car and export it to Malaysia for use, afterall the scrap value is only a few hundred dollars!
Anyone ever done this before?? Are the procedure complicated?
I have exported my car but under MM2H program.
I have to apply for an approved permit to import in and I am not sure that you need this or not to import in a car not under the MM2H program.
I drove through Sg custom at Tuas Link for their endorsement of export documentation require for LTA purposes.
I engage a local agent to do all my import procedures and documentation at Malaysia custom.
I believe that you will be taxed on your car market value by the Malaysian custom.
Then you have to send the car for inspection. As my car has tinted glass, I have to sent the car to a workshop that removes the tinted glass and rent me the clear type just to pass inspection.
After clearing the inspection, then go to the LTA to register the car and get a Malaysian plate.
Once you have all the export and the import into Malaysia documentation, you go to LTA to de-register the car for PARF and COE encashment.
Things you need to find out is how much tax you have to pay for your car at Malaysia side. I actually have a hefty savings in tax on my car cos under MM2H incentive.
Need any help, pm me and I can pass you the details, contacts etc.
