Shipping date:

Cost Paid at Start (US $): 
1097,- AUD = USD at present
Comments: 

Paul was very helpful and everything was done very well. The quote was very detailed and included all cost, also in Malaysia.
No hidden or extra costs!!!!

We could have saved 150,- AUD but we wanted to be present at customs inspection. Therefore we had 2 transports (Sydney- warehouse, warehouse to the harbour) and an additional handling with the carnets.

In KL we paid an optional of 100,- MYR (32,-USD) extra as we had to assemble the bikes and let them transport from Port Klang customs warehouse to the warehouse of VESCO (agent in Malaysia)-3 days in the warehouse. That was very relaxing for us and we picked the bikes up just after the weekend.

We shipped 2 bikes in 2 crates (Honda Africa Twin & Honda Dominator 650NX):
in total: 4,58 cbm and 628 kg
measurements: 224x80x128cm

we used the original packaging from Yamaha bikes (wooden pallet and cardboard), which we got from an Australian motorcycle dealer in Sydney/ Paramatta for free.

The agent here in Malaysia is great & efficiant - very nice and helpful people. Without an agent it will be a hazzle at Port Klang, and we doubt that they will you let in the customs warehouse. It¥s like a special border x-ing.

They also organize shippments directly from KL and also have an agent in Thailand

We had no problems at all.

You just need
a carnet de passage
an ICP (road permit for Malaysia) and an insurance.
The ICP costs 150,- MYR and is valid for 3 month.
The CTP insurance (3rd party) costs 155,- MYR and is valid for 1 year.

You get both at the AAM (225, Block, 4, No7, Persiaran Sukan, Laman Seri Business Park, Section 13, 40100 Shah Alam - www.aam.org.my, mail: admin@aam.org.m (not all AAM branches can sell the ICP) or at road departments (1 shall be at Port Klang) and at the border.

Avoid lunch time, Fridays and Saturdays for any of the above in Malaysa. It takes more time ;-)
