Let's hope the banks pass on the cut to the mortgage customers.

Haha yeah next quarter probably!

Hi Guys,

 

We have recently been granted our skilled independent permanent residency visa so now we're getting ready to move. I am a mechanic and have my own tools in a single stack toolbox, and was dead set on selling them. But now I'm considering just taking them with me and I'm looking for some advice.

 

Is it possible to just fill normal boxes or duffel bags with my tools and ship over as normal freight. How much do you reckon this would cost.

 

To ship over my toolbox would be a nightmare and expensive and would sit in quarantine for 3 months.

 

Thank you very much guys for your help.

Hi Glin,

I'm thinking the tools will be heavy right? You are better off shipping in a part container as personal effects. If they are cleaned well enough without contamination they will be fine - they will be inspected though when you bring them in. Where are you bringing them from and to?

Thanks -

Hi all,

Michael here, I've just joined this forum and we import many cars into Aus for our clients on carnets, as personal vehicles, in containers, on Roro vessels - you name it. It's not so bad and applying for an import is quite cheap...the only thing is waiting for Department of Transport to reply which can take 3-4 weeks. Beside the point, once your import permit is approved, we'd love to give you rates to import your vehicle. Any questions feel free to email me -

Michael
