Importing your UK car ?

It won't just be the cost of shipping.......  Don't forget to check out the cost's you will incur at this end as well.

• Import Duty
• GST
• Cleaning Costs
• Safety Checks
• Conversion costs - speedometer being one example.

It can work out quite expensive  Here are a couple of government links to look at:.

• Customs - Australian Customs Service - importing a motor vehicle.
• Dotars - Federal Government: Department of Transport & Regional Services.

and of course... does your car have air conditioning ?
If not, depending on the area you move to, you may almost certainly have to get it installed, for your own comfort. I couldn't live without air con in a car, to me it is much more important than air con in the house.
Also, is your car capable of having it installed in this country ? and at what cost ?

Here's another possible useful link:

• Austrade - Vehicle shipping pages
• Karman Shipping - UK Based Car Shipping Agents, this site has a calculator to help work overall costs.
