IMPORT

Australia enforces strict regulations for the importation of vehicles, including motorcycles, which are managed by the Department of Transport & Regional Services (DOTARS). If you have been overseas for more than 12 months and have owned and used a bike built after January 1, 1989, during that time, you are eligible to import it back into Australia. To proceed, you must obtain a Vehicle Import Approval (VIA). For motorcycles built before January 1, 1989, the 12-month usage rule does not apply, but a VIA is still required. To apply for the VIA, email [email protected] for the link to the DOTARS application site. Importantly, we cannot load your bike in the country of origin until we receive the original Vehicle Import Approval document. This document is crucial for securing Customs Clearance in Australia and ensuring a smooth import process.

EXPORT

We offer one-way export services for your motorcycle to the UK and Europe. Please note that each country has its own set of import regulations that must be followed. It is essential to familiarise yourself with these regulations to ensure compliance and avoid any issues with customs clearance. Our team is here to guide you through the process. For any questions or assistance with the export process, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Please bear in mind imports into other countries must be dealt with according to the import regulations of that country.
