Importing a car to Australia is no small thing and can be a complicated process particularly if you choose the personal import method. Importing a vehicle is much more than just shipping it from one country to another. There are many things to consider before getting started, the most important being how to obtain a Vehicle Import Approval and which import method to use.

With 17 years of experience in personal vehicle imports, we can advise you on the best and most cost effective vehicle import option to suit your needs: Normal Road Use (SEVS and personal car import schemes) Race / Rally Vintage Or Classic (1988 and older) Off Road And Farm Vehicles We manage and guide you throughout the entire process from start to finish providing complete logistics from import approval application to having your car on the road in Australia.

Whether you are importing a car from Japan, the United States (USA), England (UK), Ireland, Europe, Hong Kong (HK), Singapore, New Zealand (NZ), South Africa or any other country to Australia, it is critical to ensure the process is carried out correctly. We arrange / advise on shipping, personal car import approval applications, airconditioning degas, valuations, Customs and Quarantine clearance, compliance and registration. The cost and process of personal car import to Australia varies depending on the type of vehicle and the best vehicle import method for your situation. Personal car imports (owned and used by you for more than 12 months overseas) require a considerable amount of paperwork before and after shipping. This can be daunting for someone who has never imported a car before and there are many pitfalls to avoid. Like any new undertaking, the risk of inexperienced vehicle importers being overcharged or making an expensive mistake on procedure / paperwork is high. This is where the experience of good vehicle import agent (or car broker) can really help. Best of all, reduced shipping and compliance rates available to our clients will usually cover most or all of our fee.

Japan for example requires four official pieces of paperwork before your car can be exported. We assist you with everything you require to speed up the process in Japan and avoid any confusion. We also organise the transport within Japan, shipping to Australia and clearance through Australian Customs and Quarantine, leaving you to focus on the move itself. Note that personal effects (household items) inside vehicles are often not accepted by shipping companies (and loose items present a security risk), so if you have a large number of items to ship back with you it is likely to be more cost effective to ship your car in a container rather than roll on / roll off (roro) car carrying ship. In terms of total cost, we also need to consider which country you are shipping from, and where you are located within that country relative to the nearest Port. In addition to shipping and agent fees, there are of course import taxes and registration costs to consider.

Sometimes when you work it all out, the final cost may not be worth the end value of the vehicle in Australia. This will mostly affect vehicles with a relatively low cost. We are happy to advise you on the likely costs to help you decide whether it is worth importing your vehicle to Australia.
