Selling European Motorcycle in Iceland

[jfman]

Hello all,

Is it possible to legally and easily sell a bike purchased in the European Union in Iceland to a local?

Basically buying a motorcycle in say France and reselling it at the end of a trip, in Iceland, to an Icelander?

Or does it involve importing the bike, customs etc..?

Thanks!

There is no problem importing a bike from European Union to Iceland.
But the importer/Icelandic buyer must pay total 60% in taxes on the sales price.
So (bike price + transport cost) * 1,6 tax = total price

Thank you for this information!

60% Holy!

Do you happen to know if there is a time limit for a motorcycle staying in Iceland? Any Temporary permits there?

Considering that the ferry company will let motorbikes on for free with a three-day stopover on the Faroe Islands on the way back, makes a lot of sense to take it back to Denmark and sell it at home.

Three days on the Islands are far more expensive than the ferry.
That 'free of charge' offer is poisoned.
