Help! Change in Scooter Import Regulation?

Post new topic

SoCha

Hello,
We just moved here from Thailand and I'm trying to bring in my 150cc Vespa into the country.  It has already arrived and just waiting for the import approval.  But I received a call this morning saying that the Ministry of Commerce has just changed the import rule and does not allow any bikes older than one year (my Vespa is a 2013). 

Does anyone know anything about this?  My scooter is already here, and it seems really unfair that the law changes while it is in transit.  Any advice on how to overcome this?  Any direct contacts would also be appreciated.
