With the increasing demand for the Superbikes in the country, the Indian dealers have found a way to provide their customers with the new and reasonably priced products. The Indian dealers with a view to reduce the import duty on the bikes, which have been coming from abroad, have started importing the parts of the sports bike which are then assembled locally so as to reduce the cost price of the product.
This is one way to reduce the duties on the bike and to provide the customers with their choice. This is also one of the biggest reason why the number of smugglers is increasing day by day. These spare parts for the bikes undoubtedly are brought through proper channels with less import duties on them. After this, these are re-assembled here in the country and are ready for sale at a lower price. The bikes are to possess same style and looks as they do if imported completely from outside.
Talking for the import duty put on the vehicle is 200 percent more than its original price. As per the latest news, it is been acknowledged that the customers have to make pre bookings for the model and have to pay half of the original price which is not refundable to them. And also after the dealers get minimum four orders then only the parts are to be smuggled to the country for re-assembling.
Also the spare parts are brought one by one and are then re-assembled together after a time period of two to three months and till then these remain brand new being preserved. Also these parts are imported with the labours who go abroad or live there thus reducing the duties and the dealers keep a detailed information of them. These labours are those who basically visit middle eastern countries for jobs and other purposes.
