Importing engines and JDM cars

[hassan.aslam2002]

I wanted to know what is the process of importing car engines and car chassis only from Japan or other countries. Can anyone briefly explain the process and what needs to be done excluding the pandemic on a normal day

[Xulfiqar]

Car chassis?

Of a unibody car?

half cuts, engines, write off crashed vehicles you can buy container load at torkham / chaman border at Rs. 2100 -2500 / kg payment upon landing at your door step. rates vary with respect to loading origin of container

a 40 footer has approx 42000 - 43000 kgs loaded material Afghan smugglers are champions of such goods delivery inside Pakistan.

But is this legal? If I assemble the car will I be able to register the vehicle as a normal car?

[Xulfiqar]

You cannot, it wont have clearance papers from customs as road vehicle, scrap smuggled as scrap remains scrap.

And babban and sheeda with “gess batee” welding cannot weld two cars together. No matter how much they boast.

I think you made a mistake coz 42000 -43000kgs in one 40 ft container dosnt seem posible coz the max load allowed on a 40 footer is 28000-30000kgs. Also if we buy that container for 2000/kg cost of those scraped car parts would be more then 80million.

@arslansohail84 you are right.
it depend upon commodity which is 'stuffed' into a container. in case of cargo over pallet or in bails it is 35000 - 36000 kgs. however when it is stuffed through a loader shovel it is approx 42000 kgs.

for the costing of per kg it is the ongoing rate of metal machinery / automobile scrap as of Aug 08 2020.

And some of your containers are awesome

They come with forklifts inside,

[capsat]

halfcut of a car and put the body panels , engines on my current car will that be legal

yes parts swap as in cosmetics and panels are perfectly fine and legal.

for engine swap you may need a receipt from yard to upgrade the registration papers.

[shahzad.ali.ansari.saa]

Sir my interest is rising after seeing this. do u know the process of importing or the way of importing a halfcut from japan etc

[vekeyli]

I also like to refit the car to make it more pleasant to drive:sticked_out_tongue:
But in China, we don't support large-scale refitting. We can only make a small change, otherwise we will get a ticket when the car goes out

[Xulfiqar]

we are in Pakistan.
