But some others agencies had a fit when I spoke about a business visa for what is basically a holiday. Chose the right agency, you can get a business visa. You do not need to provide any business doc or reason....

Thanks for the reply. Maybe I can find the right agency, but now, due also to money, I think I will avoid kazakhstan.

I recommend you enter at Wakkanai via Sakhalin. It is the easiest port. Other ports usually (but not always) ask for a carnet.
If you send me the e-mail you got from customs, I can probably decipher if they are talking about temporary or permanent import.

I think it's a temporary import, in fact I specified in the subject "Import a bike (temporarily) to Japan".
But if you give me via PM your email address I'll forward you the whole discussion.
If there is no import tax for temporary import is even better!
A friend told me that if your bike was built in Japan (mine was built in Iwata by Yamaha) you don't have to pay import taxes...anyway!
