Shipping New York (East Coast) to Korea!
Hey guys/gals,
Read the posts on here about shipping bikes in to Korea, and just wanted to get an updated status on the best methods to use when doing so. Couple questions:
1) Can someone reccomend a company that can ship a bike that far (NY to Seoul/Inchon/Pusan) and does anyone know how much this will cost?
2) Are motorcycles considered automobiles to Korean customs? Also, could I qualify my bike under the "temporary stay" condition? I only plan on being in Korea for 6 months, and expect to ship it back over here at the end of my trip.
3) Is korea "open" to motorcycles? I saw some conflicting posts, about Korea not being open to motorcycles (what does that mean anyway), while others said that Korea was a great place to have a motorcycle (and that it was well worth the hassle of importing the bikes). Its obvious that motorcycles do exist in Korea, so I'm a bit confused by all this.
4) I'm guessing that registration will be handled by the shipping company and that I will have to secure insurance by myself?
Thanks guys, trying to plan ahead here so I can have everything lined up come January/February! FYI: I ride a Vespa 250ie
Thanks,
Wangta
