I assume this is via ocean freight?
What percentages are the duties and taxes?

I brought in a car recently . Brought the shell separately and the engine ,transvand suspension separately but in the same shipment. The body shell was only vat and the other parts were 30 % plus vat 12.5%. I just put it on a pallet and shipped it, no hassle at all. It’s under heading 8708. 99.90 in the customs taxes .

Hey rspann can you assist me with info on how to import a shell also. It's a rolling shell no engine etc. Please pm me the info. Any help will be appreciated thank you.

You'll have to remove the suspension for it to be considered a body shell . The suspension can be packed and shipped separately .
