Whats The Deal With The New Import Charges?

Something to do with emmission standards.Many older cars may not meet the standard so will not be allowed into the country.The price of 2005 or later cars should be no more expensive than what they are now.

Thanks. What will happen to the prices for pre 2005 cars!

all cars have to be euro 4 since 01 january 2012 nothing that is below euro4 will be able to get compliance now. unless it was previously registered.

thanks for that , whats that grade in terms of cars from Japan!

IIRC, "Grade" is the condition - from 1-5. I think a new car is 5.

cool so a 3 or 4 or 5 is the same no matter where you import from!

Euro 4 is the emissions standard.Read it essentially as, 2005 models and newer.
