08-08-2019, 08:31 AMHi,
I know this has been asked before, but I can't find any recent (up-to-date) threads on this site or elsewhere.
I'm moving to Beijing in December from Europe and I'd like to bring my bike with me if possible - it's a BMW R1200GS Adventure (1200cc). Is it currently possible to import a foreign bike and, if so, what are the likely costs? I assume I'd need a local agent to help with all of the paperwork (especially as I don't speak Chinese)?
The bike is currently registered in the UK and I have a UK motorcycle licence. Currently I have only a tourist visa for China, but I will apply for a resident permit when I arrive; my wife is already working in Beijing on a work permit, so it should be no problem for me to get residency as "accompanying family". I don't know if any bike import/registration would need to wait until I have gained residency. We are living between 3rd and 4th ring roads, Chaoyang Park area.
Any knowledgeable, current advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Marius
