Shipping motorbike into Malaysia
If you are bringing a bike into Malaysia via Port Klang KL you will need to contact the AAM to arrange a circulation permt. Remember to take all your paperwork with you including passport and Carnet. I used the one at Ampang Park shopping centre. It is on the second floor and easy to find. The full address is Level 2,3.22 Ampang Park Shopping centre Jlang. Tel 0321635210
You should also have a temporary insurance with you. This can be obtained from UNi Asia General Insurance 1008 Sultan Ismail 50250 tel 03-2693-8111 Both will cost 150 RM (£30).
Without these your bike will not be released! Your agent will need these also.

Before you go to the AAM to get the ICP you need insurance. You can get insurance at UNIASIA, it will take a day to get approved. You also need photographs of your bike (with your license plate on it) you can email them (ask the email address at the AAM office)

Hi, just out of interest: Did you have a Carnet de Passage for your MC? If yes, and you used it for temp import, did it appear like this was mandatory, in order to get your MC temporarily into Malaysia?

I´ve once taken my MC into Malaysia, but via land border from Thailand, and it appeared to me like they could not have cared less about the MC, had to walk up to a building, to get the carnet stamped. Malaysia was clearly listed on my carnet as a country, that is in that system, but we could have brought the bike in without any paperwork whatsoever. Since then I have wondered, how it actually is, if you were bringing the bike in by freight.
(My trip was 7 years ago).

Malaysia
Crossing overland is so very different to bringing the bike in by sea. Not only the Carnet (which I have) but ICP (circulation permit) insurance I then found I had to get approval from the Imports and exports people. The form I needed was called an AP from MITI (ministry of International Trade and Industry). This to me was another way of slowing me down. It works just like the Carnet and when I explained this I was told the bike will not be released through customs without it. I have now got all the paperwork done so just hope it all works when the bike arrives on the 11Feb. Rules are always changing!!
