Wow, best part of $10k to import, that's not a cheap exercise! Have you looked at Aussie dealers to see if it might be cheaper/easier to buy a new (second hand) one in Oz? James

FOB is an incoterm for shipping. Free On Board (FOB) Use of this rule is restricted to goods transported by sea or inland waterway. In practice it should be used for situations where the seller has direct access to the vessel for loading, e.g. bulk cargos or non-containerised goods. For containerised goods, consider “Free Carrier FCA” instead.

I have done this. This is not straight forward.

Thanks for the replies so far, much appreciated.
Yes, 457 is on the way, sponsorship visa is approved and a labour agreement is in place ![]() Having checked all the personal and vehicle ownership requirements I qualify on all of them so should be good to go on that score. Good advice about declaring the true value if not just for insurance purposes. Good news about LCT ![]() I think the next step, once the 457 comes through, is to make the application and then figure out shipping. I'll post up the progress but if anyone has any tips or recommendations in the meantime, please feel free to share. 2015 90 XS CSW TDCi - Beautiful 2007 110 XS DCPU - An itch that needed scratching 2005 90 Td5 XS CSW - Utterly brilliant 2001 Discovery 2 ES Auto - A phase I went through 1996 90 Tdi CSW - Uber reliable 1989 90 2.5 Petrol Hardtop - My first proper Landy 1985 Range Rover Vogue V8 -Troublesome |

@abbztract if you don't own the vehicle then I'm not sure you have a route to import it. First thing is that you need an import approval for the vehicle from Dept of Infrastructure (Vehicle Import section) and a cargo agent won't do anything without one (my experience anyway); if by some means you got the vehicle on a boat and it arrived in Australia without a vehicle import approval then it would be stored (at your expense) whilst things were sorted out.

@andyh What did you import? I'm working through a potential pathway at the moment except I have to make sure that the vehicle I import meets certain criteria. Is your a Puma series Defender? If so, could you do me a massive favor by telling me what your VIN is? I'm trying to compare a UK-sold Defender VIN to a locally-sold Defender Vin to identify any difference in the specs and see if this will be successful. |
