Imporrting a car into Azerbaijan
Discussion
Firstly i realise this wont be a popular question so i wont anticipate a huge amount of replies
Basically my OH works out here on a 6 Week on 2 weeks off rotation , and i spend a month at a time here with our son, i work when im at home.
We have been getting used to the Azeri customs and driving styles which is bordering on dangerous however i drive an HGV when im at home so its nothing i havent had to deal with whilst at home.
So im looking at getting something over here, however everything is absolutely mentally priced, a 20 year old 400,000KM mk3 Cavalier for example £3000, and im not orepared to pay that for a worn out heap,
Ive looked into it however i cant make much sense of import duties etc, i would hopefully buy something cheapish either at home or in europe and ship it over, LHD obviously
Anyone have any pointers?

According to this the taxes are:
For sub-2L: For each cubic sm. of engine volume — 0.15 manat
Sub-3L: 300 manats + 1 manat for each cubic sm. for the portion of engine 2001-3000 cubic sm. of engine volume
3-4L: 1300 manats+ 2manats for each cubic sm. for the portion of engine 3001-4000 cubic sm. of the engine volume
4L+: 3300 manats + 4 manats for each cubic sm. for the portion of engine exceeding 4000 cubic meters of engine volume
But RHD cars are illegal, as are tinted windows.
It's also worth nothing that, according to iamovers you can import a car for 2 years without paying duty etc, you do leave a deposit though.

I knew RHD was illegal, however there is apparently a Manchester registered car running about Baku, still on its UK plates, im unsure how they have managed this.
Id likely buy a cheap LHD car from the UK and ship it across, i will need to see how much its going to cost, but having no car over here is now beginning to frustrate me, likely be here for a few years yet but the 2 years idea with a deposit seems a good idea
