Hi - i have seen on threads a reference to selling your imported car in australia within 2 years seems to attract some further tax or customs charge. However, i have not been able to find any detail on this. Does anyone know the exact law or who charges these levies? I can't imagine it is tax, so not sure exactly whether this is an urban myth or something that needs to be considered - imported car 18 months ago.

Cheers,

James

Iron chief - regarding personnel import: did i read somewhere on this thread that you can, or should, apply online, obtaining a reference number then forward documents through the post?

I've gone back through a few pages and cannot see it, so thinking i may have dreamed it..

hi iron chief - question on the pre-89 exception for ownership. i am Australian returning from the UK after a long stint, and would like to take on old car with me. i assume i can purchase right up until i leave and ship it later. if i don't find one i like, can i still get a friend to purchase on my behalf and my name and ship it to me , or do i physically have to be in the UK to buy it?
