Vehicle Import Approval

A Vehicle Import Approval is required to import a vehicle. The vehicle will not be released from customs control by the Australian Border Force unless it has a Vehicle Import Approval.

Contact us to organise a Vehicle Import Approval (VIA).

**It is important to have an import approval before a vehicle is shipped

VEHICLE IMPORT OPTIONS

If you’re new to importing cars, you will likely find that vehicle importing regulations are very convoluted and hard to decipher. Our job is to cut through all of this to make it simpler for you.

The first thing you need to know is that anything relating to vehicle importation falls under the Road Vehicle Standards Act 2018 (RVSA). The objective of the Road Vehicle Standards (RVS) legislation is to provide consumers in Australia with more choice of road vehicles, including specialist and enthusiast vehicles.

Basically, if you are an Australian resident looking to import a vehicle for road use, then the two main import options available are:

1. 25 YEAR RULE

 The vehicle must be over 25 years old from date of manufacture. This scheme covers most vehicle types including passenger cars, off-road passenger vehicles, mopeds/motorcycles, and light goods vehicles), and
 

2. SPECIALIST AND ENTHUSIAST VEHICLE SCHEME (SEVS)

SEVS allows importation of vehicles with certain features such as high performance, low emissions or accessibility features but are not otherwise provided to the Australian market by the original manufacturer.

Vehicles that meet the relevant SEVS eligibility criteria (either at the make and model level, or as a variant of a model of the road vehicle) are entered onto the RVS Specialist and Enthusiast Vehicles Register (SEVs Register). This includes those vehicles currently listed on the Interim arrangements SEVs list.

Anyone can apply for one or more variants of a model, or make and model, of a road vehicle to be entered on the SEVs Register.
