- An informational video on how to import a JDM car to Australia (namely South Australia but applies to all states).
I'm currently making a video review on the GRS184 Toyota Crown Athlete, stay tuned for it (or import one yourself and drive it). - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Wow just straight to the point thanks lad
Excellent man, great video!
The higher price at auction , the more you pay on custom duty " gst " lct " stamp duty not gst tax you pay
I am the 200th subscriber! congratulations on the double century 😃. Is this info still valid in 2023?
Thanks man 😁 yeah should be, I don't think much has changed really
Good day buddy!
I didn't understand the last part and I googled for sevs but couldn't understand.
If you explain the cost of importing lexus ls wich goo net exchange ( not action ) says the total cost will be 23000 aud will it be l&c tax gst?
Thank bud
Maybe get in touch with an import company in Australia, they can explain it well
Nice video thanks. So am I correct in assuming cars which aren’t allowed under SEVS will be allowed once they’re older than 25 years? Also if they replace battery/ tires are you allowed to keep the old ones?
Yep, any car that's 25 is eligible as long as it's not completely munted haha
Yeah pretty sure you could contact the compliance workshop and ask them to put them aside for you
@@MattCaseyFun sick thanks I wanna try get a 22b wrx at some point but they’re currently not allowed. Year or two though…
There is a list sent out by the government that allows cars newer than 25 years that are allowed for import. However, they couldn't have been sold here domestically (for example, a Nissan Skyline Crossover, they're a real car and are cool as haha). Guessing the 22B's were sold domestically here so you're right guess it'll be a year or two
Hi Matt. May I know some info about Adelaide compliance workshop. Where should I go or where I should not go. All those info about auction sheets are not trustworthy also made me a bit worried. Any tips? Cheers
The import broker normally chooses for you. The compliance workshop also doesn't have anything to do with the auction sheets 😁
Taking a car to regency is it a tier 2 inspectior or tier 3 inspection?
Not sure sorry, maybe just email your state about it to be sure
You are awesome ..from adelaide
Do you need an import licence? What are some examples of things that could require you to actually need to use that extra $2k on top?
The import agent sorts all the licencing and paperwork out for you. The $2k is just a buffer in case shipping, compliance, FOB etc are higher than originally estimated.
where do i get rwc for a car
Do you must get a new tyers? Even if the car came with RWC passed Tyers from Japan ?
Not sure if you legally have to, but most do anyway
Thanks mate for your informative video. Is there any compliance list to let us know which kind of cars are allowed to be imported to Australia (in terms of model, type, production year)? I have a broker in Japan who can buy cars for me. Is it mandatory to import a car through a import broker? Can I apply to be an importer broker?
I'm not sure about the import broker part sorry, but if you go to google and type in 'Australia SEVS' and click on the website that says 'Ruling No' it'll show you all the cars you can import. But I think they're changing the rules soon
@@MattCaseyFun thank you very much. One more question: I have a friend in Japan to buy and send xars. Can I apply for import permit directly on the Gov portal or I need to apply through a registered workshop?
I don't know sorry, which country/state do you live in? Just go to Google and type in import broker in your country, they would be able to answer your questions well 😁
@@MattCaseyFun I am in Melbourne. thank you mate. will do so. much appreciated
Ah cool, go to Iron Chef Imports website and email them, they can help you no worries :)
How can we have that excel sheet for estimated budget. Thanks
Go to the Prestige Motorsport website and find cost calculator, it should be there
Hi Matt, video was helpful, thinking one to get from Japan. Any recommendations in japan website or contact and also car importer here in Australia to get it done, Would be great. Cheers
Maybe go to Google, type in import broker [your country]
Is it legal to register and drive rare left hand drive cars (hypercars)
I'm not sure, maybe email the relevant government department to be sure. I'm guessing no; you can't drive a LHD car because of its age, regardless of how rare it is
@@MattCaseyFun thanks brother
im a 12 year old and i rlly want a jdm car in the future so im just beginning to study how i can make it happen
Save your pennies is my advice, you need at least 13k to import anything, plus you'll have outgoing costs so make sure you have a steady income. When you're at maybe 16 or 17 I'd recommend emailing an import broker, they can advise you better
@@MattCaseyFun thank you I thank you a lot on my journey
@@vifix1986 Do it man but I suggest having alot more money by then these cars will all be eligible for US import and will all be worth alot more because americans pay out the nose, I just imported a jzx100 mark 2
Hey mate any reference to your import broker I’m having troubles finding one
Iron Chef Imports are the way to go I reckon. Where you based?
@@MattCaseyFun thanks Matt, I’m based in canberra
Hey Matt, I'm living in Singapore and intend to move to Australia. How do I bring my car over? Appreciate your help!
Hey man, if you've owned your current car for over a year you can bring it in no worries. What type of car do you have?
Other than that, just google Australia import broker, they can help you more than me. Cheers!
@@MattCaseyFun I have an impreza that's modified within the Singapore laws. Read up on some articles that it's quite strict over there as well...
Oh cool, yeah best to contact an import broker, I'm not sure about mods sorry. Let me know how you go!
@@MattCaseyFun No worries. Thanks a lot mate! 😊
Hi, do you know if these imports are also available for foreigners living in Australia too? or do they only apply to Aussie?
I'm not sure sorry, foreigners would probably be okay, ask an import broker
Please reply me
I want to import a nisssan skyline 1998 gtt to Sydney
Is it possible? What’s the duty and other estimate charges after arrival
I don't think it'd be possible until they hit 25 years, probably 10-15k on top of purchase price
@@MattCaseyFun more than that a coupe gtt 160000km bid in Japan 5.3 milion yen = $80000 to import because it over luxury car tax threshold
SA best state im try and get me an l300 diesel 4wd
So like 10k for shipping
10k on top of car cost. That includes shipping, compliance, bunch of other shit
how to find a import broker???
which country do you live in?
If you live in the usa, go to google and type in 'japanese car import broker usa' and see what you find. Or go on some forums, just read a few comments and you'll get a good idea of who to contact
2016 Mercedes c63s in new Zealand $70000 , why it expensive in Australia because it tax $30000 more in Australia new than new Zealand
What happens if you buy it from someone ?
I guess the import broker would send a contact out to look over the car, ask the seller questions, maybe take it for a test drive? Then same process, organise getting it to the port for shipping, then everything the same
@@MattCaseyFun yeah because i got a friend of a friend what has a R34 V.spec for sale
They're selling it in Japan?
@@MattCaseyFun yeah
Danks for the info, I want to import a Crown and flog it off for profit
may i know the car complience checker in brompton adelaide?
Might send you a message, don't want to say mean stuff about them on this video. Not that anyone watches it haha
Or I'll write the name, you like my comment so I know you've seen it, then I'll delete the comment haha. Iron Chef don't use them anymore
Hi matt. I have some questions. If u have some time please answer. (1) who do the degassing and asbestos cleaning? How to manage that? (2) when it arrive Australian port where does it go? who take it to for compliance check?
Asbestos and regassing is done by the authorities and we don't have much to do with it as far as I'm aware
I reckon the compliance workshop stick a trade plate on the car and drive it back. Or it's towed/put on a truck
I think you can drive it to the compliance workshop but you'd need to arrange that with the compliance workshop
so if the car costs 3000yen ill be paying $14K AUD (3k for car and 10k for everything else) im new to all this and kinda dumb so please help a brother out. i also live in adelaide so this helps a lot thank you so much
How did you go bro. Same from Ade. A bit confused and worried here
Hi Matt, do you know anyone that has imported japanese cars without an agent (i.e yourself). Might contact the japanese agent to bid for me and do all the japanese side. but then when it gets to Australia, i believe i might need to get a broker.
Any comments will be appreciated. Cheers
G'day Bobby, I don't know anyone sorry. I reckon the Japan side of things would be trickier, lots of small things to think about such as getting someone to take photos of the car before it goes through auction, transporting it from auction to port, clearing it all with customs. I don't know heaps about it all, I do know it's $1100 for a broker and they'll sort everything out for you. Hope this helps :)
2016 Mercedes Gls63 in new Zealand $95000
2014 911 turbo in new Zealand $185000nzd
Would you have to pay anything if you purchased a late model car in Japan and imported it here, if the same car is selling for more in Australia? Like a 2022 hilux for example
You probably wouldn't be able to import it. There's a certain list of cars that eligible for import, this is to prevent the domestic market in Aus getting flooded with imports
@@MattCaseyFun you pay shit loads of taxes in Australia , so why would you import a hilux from Japan
@@MattCaseyFun socalism policy isn't free the consumer pays, business owner pays the taxes they spend in other businesses
R34 gtr luxury car tax why $300000 to import are people stupid
@@MattCaseyFun corporation pass costs onto franchise in higher wholesale prices people a dumb 🙄 who pushes up corporation costs the fk government
is there a way to cut the middleman out of this to save costs ?
I think you can organise the whole process yourself, but it'd involve a lot. Contacting the shipping company, auction house, customs in Japan and your home country, probably know Japanese I dunno. For $1000 that's all taken care of by the import broker, pretty good price in my opinion
You can’t bid at auction without a bidding licence so no .
10K in fees just to get a car over here is crazy 😓
It's a bit of a shame, I guess there is a fair bit involved in bringing a car overseas
Can be cheaper if you ship in a container and use some good people to handle it for you . I can get them over for $8K
Containers weren't really a viable option when I made this video (middle of COVID, too expensive I think). But you're right containers would be a bit cheaper
Shipping might be 8k but it'd be the compliance and stamp duty that would be crappy
@@MattCaseyFun Japanese shipping companies are pushing it as RORO is causing long delays .
So it’s pretty safe to say it’ll cost you 10 racks to get that shit over here. Gawwwd dayum.
Yep pretty much :( luckily the market in Australia has kind of adjusted for this (except overpriced like Supras and skylines) so it's usually cheaper or the same cost as sourcing locally. Cars in Japan are comparatively cheaper than in Aus, just have to pay postage lol
@@MattCaseyFun they are cheaper but taxes in Australia bullshit . R grade supra rz 349000km bid 3.7 milion yen
@@MattCaseyFun 97 supra rz 6 million yen tax $20000 to import lwith 200000km = $85000
@@MattCaseyFun grey imports over $69000 luxury car tax , it not cheaper importing
@@coopsnz1 we're talking cars with
People in comments lied by poltican & left media Australia a high tax country why cars expensive in Australia, there no point importing a new car from Japan or Europe
Also no point getting a jab!
Sounds like an over regulated mess. Not like we face a car industry to protect anymore.
I feel like there'll be a change in regulations soon with all the fuckery at the moment
Australia a over tax country , cars in my born country tax much less especially luxury performance cars
better luck buying a ferrari
yep it's very easy to source and import a ferrari from japan busta
@@MattCaseyFun you pay luxury car tax 33% , Ferrari over lct theshold no point importing a Ferrari . In new Zealand 2012 Ferrari $140000 because no tariffs " luxury car tax " stamp duty you see the savings when government taxes cars far less in new Zealand
