I ship my bike from Australia to Port Klang, Malaysia in December 2015. I arrived in KL 29 th Dec & immediately started proceedings to get my bike through customs.
To get the vehicle through customs you'll need 4 things.
1. 3rd party insurance ( Available at any Liberty insurance office).
2. An ICP (International Circulation Permit) free from the Ministry of Transport head office, Kuala Lumpur. For the ICP you'll need photocopies of; Vehicle Registration Papers, photos of the vehicle showing its number plates, your Carnet, Vehicles Valuation certificate (what you used to get the Carnet), Auto club membership paperwork & the 3rd party insurance mentioned in point 1.
3. All the receipts stating that all port fees & freight costs have been paid in full.
4. You'll need to "invite" the customs officers to come & inspect you vehicle.
Steps 1-3 are relatively easy once you know what you need & where to go for it.
Step 4 on the otherhand, well... The Malay's like to remind people that it's their country & as your vehicles not going anywhere theres no real need to rush to get it done.
I arrived not knowing what to do or how to do it. I was sent to the wrong department of the wrong office for a ICP, to the right department but at the wrong location for a ICP. When I finally got the right office at the right location I discovered you can't get an ICP without firstly getting 3rd party insurance.
Basically I toured Kuala Lumpur, Klang & Port Klang by "Teksi" for 5 days before I got my bike. And without the assistance of the management & staff of Hotel Histana, Klang (that's a plug) & Port Klang Police (I walked into the wrong office by mistake & ended up with an armed escort untill my bike left the port) chances are I'd still be waiting for customs clearance. I rode the bike out of the Port about 9 days after I arrived in Malaysia, but that included New Years day & a week end.
