Vehicle and Japan-Side Costs
Allow for the purchase price, auction or agent charges, inland transport, export documents and inspections.
Vehicle-specific landed cost
Cost to Import a Car from Japan to Australia
There is no single import price that applies to every vehicle. Calculate the complete landed and registered cost for the exact model rather than comparing only the Japanese auction or dealer price.
Shipping and Border Costs
Freight, marine insurance, customs processing, applicable duty, GST, possible Luxury Car Tax, port and biosecurity charges may apply.
Compliance and Registration
Budget for the applicable workshop work, verification, state inspection, registration, insurance and duty.
Request a Written Estimate
Ask for a vehicle-specific estimate stating what is included, what remains variable and which charges are payable separately.
