importing a car to egypt permanently?
well thats the plan folks. We, (myself and the family) are relocating to egypt, from Wales. Now i understand that you can buy cars in Egypt but death traps are putting it lightly. So i would like to take my car to Egypt....permanently. I am aware of the carnet du passage but that dosnt really help me much considering i wont be coming back. SO i guess what i am asking is do any of you know of a way to import a car into Egypt without paying £10000's worth of taxes.
Somebody did mention to me i should get a carnet and then in egypt report the car stolen....now that doesn't seem to wise as i figured i would be driving around Egypt in a 'stolen' car. So apart from trying to smuggle the damn thing over the border are there any loop holes in Egypts systems, enabeling me to have my car with me in Egypt. Another thing was mentioned was if the people bringing the car into Egypt were Egyptian nationals then no tax would be required (i aint Egyptian), also can you bring in cars less than one year old? lots of questions i know but an answer would be great, even if it just details how to import my car to Egypt and what i could be expected to pay to undergo such a privelege. the car is a Toyoya Landcruiser 1999.
