Savitar Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) I had oneTo much bother i sold it in the uk bought another once out here with in a few days FEES insurance holdings shipping taxes... most people dont bring cars over That is certainly one view point. However there are many people out there that would disagree. Yes, there are some cars that are not worth taking but there are many that are, to the point of being able to make quite a bit of money out of it (compared to selling in the UK and buying the same car in OZ). And if you can't be bothered doing it yourself, just get IronladyImports to do it for you, simples!

You should absolutely bring this car with you if possible. Even with NSW being the most expensive state to register a car it still works out that you would save around AUD$12,000 or more compared to buying the same car when you get here based on the estimated UK value you have provided. If you wanted a more detailed breakdown of the costs involved and some additional information about the process then please fill out our cost estimate request form and I will be happy to answer any other questions you have at the same time so please feel free to ask! http://www.ironladyimports.com/cost-estimate Regards, Craig Moor Iron Lady Imports That is certainly one view point.

FifiJ Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Thanks for the advice, I will take it on board and nearer moving time will get some more accurate figures etc, I thought originally I wouldn't bother, but I didn't reckon on mercedes being so expensive in Australia and I do love the car which has been looked after and trouble free from new.Also we have bought the usual "kit" such as roof bars etc and had been thinking of having a towbar fitted until we knew we were moving ,when I thought it wouldn't be worth the expense anymore. Now we might go ahead and do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy1 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Looking at bringing over a BMW520d to Aus, can anyone advise if you have a 20ft container is it possible for removal companies to use the space above the car for storage/boxes etc. Dont really need a 40ft container as we have little no furniture but have boxes of personal stuff etc. Car will take up most of the space on the flat so wondering do they stack over the car? Any advice appreciated if anyone has done this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice appreciated if anyone has done this Most removals companies will do exactly what you are thinking about. Usually they would build a platform to load additional items around and above the car. You should call a few removals companies for more information. If you ship with a removals company we can still help you with the process as normal as we have worked with most of them in the past. We can assist with the import approval paperwork before you ship the car, then once it arrives we will take over with the process again.

Brenda Bonner Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 My 2004 BMW 320 diesel sport landed in oz on wednes customs are sayin the gst is goin to be $4000 is this very unreasonable!!!???

Assuming this has been imported under the Personal Import Scheme then it would need to have an independent valuation done to determine the value. Random valuers can give wildly varying figures which is why we arrange favorable valuations for our clients. I can't comment on your situation specifically unless I know more about the costs they are claiming to confirm if that $4,000 is just GST or if that also includes other Customs charges, import duty etc. If the value they are using is too high then you should be able to challenge it with a new valuation depending on how far through the process is currently. Without knowing all of the information and details of the vehicle I have done some quick rough calculations, and I would estimate that your entire Customs bill (including port fees, Quarantine costs, cleaning if necessary, import duty and GST) should be under $2,500 if shipped by RORO (roll-on/roll-off), under $3,500 if shipped by sole use container for just this one car, or somewhere in between if it was included in a container shipment with household goods. I calculate the GST component alone to be $500 or less. Regards, Craig Moor Iron Lady Imports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards brenda Hi Brenda, That is much more like it, so you should end up paying around $200 for import duty (5% of value) and around $500 for GST (10% of value + ocean freight + insurance + import duty) which is just a little more than I worked out but close enough.
