nicmark Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Hi all, Just a query. We are looking to emigrate in May (we have to go then to validate our PR visa) and will be able to stay with friends till we're sorted, approx 3-4 months. We we're wondering whether we could transport our cars and property after we have arrived and had a place of our own. I no can take that long for things to be transported, but dont think we can afford to send it before we move. Will need to send money home when we are in work and more settled Cheers Nic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest oldmarried Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 To the best of my knowledge I don't think there is actually a timeframe. In order to get your goods in tax and duty free you need to satisfy a couple of conditions, namely that you have used the goods overseas for more than 12 months and that you are taking up permanent residency. I think if you were to set up a home and buy everything new and then 2 years later try to ship your stuff out you would have difficulty satisfying the authorities that you were entitled to bring these goods in. But in your case you are goin go live with friends and then only bring the goods in when you are ready to set up a home. http://www.customs.gov.au/webdata/resources/files/UPE_factsheet.pdf Maybe contact Customs for further advice.

JoandJon Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I think it's within 12 months - there is definitely a time limit for the car, and I think there is for other stuff too but can't be sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
