advice for motorbike import permit needed please

[carolinejane]

My oh would like to bring his prized motorbike in our container. I have had a look on the customs website but i could not seem to find the permit application form. I have emailed them direct but to date i have not heard back from them. Does anyone have the link to the application form so that i can download it? Thank you

Hiya we looked into this and it works out very expensive with the fees and tax's,they wont allow any modifications etc and t has to be able to be converted to Oz spec,unless its an heirloom or an mv id seriously consider selling and buying again once here,have a look on the Oz gov website im sure all the info was there failing that have a search through the transport section of this forum as it was linked on there a fewmonths ago ,,

I posted off the application for my partners motorbike import approval on Tuesday this week. After reading through all the information I didn't see anywhere that they wouldn't accept a bike that had been modified. It states that they need to know what has been done but provided it meets with the Australian design standards and can be registered in the relevant state then its ok. I believe for a bike it means things like; it has mirrors, indicators, road tyres etc.

My partners bike is worth £1500 in the UK if he sold it, and to buy one the same in Oz it will cost him $9000! Even with the duties, taxes, AQIS and shipping its not going to cost that much!

They say it takes 17 days for the approval to come back so I will let you know in a couple of weeks the outcome.
