Every Detained BYD Finally Released by Customs — So Was the Hold-Up Ever Fair?

Hundreds of BYD EVs sat impounded by Customs for months over a dispute about how their motor output was declared for tax. JKCG, the agent, took it to the Court of Appeal, got batches released on bank and corporate guarantees over several hearings, and this week the last of them were finally cleared. JKCG's side: they told the court Customs was singling out BYD while clearing similar-output EVs from other brands without a fuss, which looks less like enforcement and more like one importer being made an example of. Customs' side: it's their job to check what's declared against what's actually under the hood, and a backlog doesn't mean the underlying question was wrong to ask. Either way, buyers who ordered a BYD months ago were left waiting with no real answer on when their car would show up or whether the price would hold. If you had money down on one of these, what did the agent actually tell you while it was stuck? And does a saga like this change whether you'd buy BYD again, or do you shrug it off as normal import friction here? මාසගණන් කස්ටම්ස් එකේ හිර වුණු BYD රථ ගැන ඔබේ අත්දැකීම මොකක්ද?
