Import Starlet to Australia

[Anna]

Hi,

I'm working in New Zealand but must be back to Australia. I've bought Starlet there (1997) and want to take it here. But there is neither "The letter of Compliance" nor "Compliance plate" and I've bought this car only 3 month ago. Very good car. Pity to leave it. Can anybody advise how to import this car. Please help.

Regards,

Anna

call DOTARS,

Pretty sure you wont be able to bring it in, haven't owned it for long enough to bring in as a personal import and the car isn't eligable for compliance through the RAWS scheme.

If you have someone you trust to leave the car with you can import it as a private import in another 9 months time.

there should be a special agreement between NZ and AUS for this kind of thing?!! that sucks...

no because unlike NZ, Australia actually has local manufacturers that would go broke in about a day if there were no import restrictions.

Also, think of the ADR's that will need to be met.
