teamv Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 We are aware that its hard to import certain woods and other material's into Oz ,but a large part or our campervan is wood. So what will happen with it ,will the customs guys fumigate it or strip it out ,or is it not a problem ,its not a factory built camper, but is well built although i'm not sure what all the different types of wood are,here's some pics. We don't want to get it over Adelaide only to be refused entry into Oz. Cheers Kev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest babka Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Ooh, nice van! :biggrin: People import wooden furniture with no issues other than that which has had obvious pest issues (in which case you need to show it has been treated), so I don't think you'll have any issues over the wood. (As far as I know, it's only raw untreated wood which might be problematic, and wood with bark attached which is a definite no go). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grada Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Hi, did you manage to import this van? We have a LWB hi top Toyota Hiace that I converted myself, and very proud of. Estimated will only get £7500 over here for it, but cannot see one similar over there or even for under $18,000. Ours only has 40,000 miles on the clock. Would be grateful on advice as ours is similar size etc to yours and wondered about costs etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got this email from you on july 26 and as yet ive not had anything else. Hi there, Thank you for contacting Iron Chef Imports regarding vehicle importing. This auto-reply is to let you know that I receive between 60-70 inquiries via email each day, and while I make every effort to reply to them all, I’m only one person and it’s often hard to stay on top of things!

grada Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Thanks, I have had a good read of this thread and got some useful info, as mine is a higher and longer vehicle than most it will probably be considerably more to import so am weighing up the pros and cons at the mo- thinking it may need to go ro-ro as it's a hi-top?

Iron Chef Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 If it's lower than 2.1m then yes RORO is still the best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
