Default I might get to keep my S2000 ......

Just found out that it might not be as expensive as I thought to import the S2000 into Hong Kong.

Because it is over 3 years old the import duties are significantly reduced, so I may be able to keep it when we move

Yup.

Should be moving May/June time ......

I was going to ship the S back to the UK, because I thought the import duties into HK would be horrendous, but looking like I may be able to swing it for shipping it to HK now

I was there for 6 years before moving to Tokyo. I am a permanent HK resident now ..... though we will eventually move from there, but where to I don't know ..... could be back to the UK, but could be somewhere that you can buy a decent house for less than half a million quid
