[skyy]

hi guys i really need to ask some questions about the importing fees and tariffs, if i bought a skyline in japan for A$24000, upon entry to australian soil, how much would the total price i will have to pay again for the tax, duty and compliance and everything else untill i can get the car on-road???

Assuming that the FOB price is 2,000,000 Yen ($24,000AUD), then the GST would be: $2,400AUD; and the stamp duty would be: $2,746AUD.

Then you have customs and clearance fees wich will be approx: $6-700AUD

Shipping costs are usually $1,000-1300AUD (for roll-on, roll-off) depending upon who you go through. If you decide to use a container then the price is doubled.

Add to that steam cleaning which can be anywhere from $60-$242AUD depending on which port the car is delivered at.

Then you might have to include twoing fees, and depending upon what car it is, compliance costs range from $3-6K.

let me get this straight, complicance equals to ( GST + Stamp duty + clearance fee + steam cleaning ) right?

so that sums up to a total of A$5846? 'sighs' if they could have simplified the procedure a little.. do we pay at different locations for gst, stamp duty etc or can we pay at once on one register?

Nope. Compliance is a totally separate component.

You pay GST and Stamp Duty to Customs.

AQIS receives fees for quarantine inspections.

In Sydney you pay the customs / quarantine fees at the same point.

If you need steam cleaning fees go to the cleaners.

Although if you use a customs agent they consolidate all the fees for you and you just pay them the single amount (excluding compliance).

Then you pay compliance to your RAWS workshop (some require a deposit prior to import approval application being made)

This is how it works : Cost of car in Japan including any transport de-rego costs in japanese yen . When the car comes here you will pay 10% import duty on the converted AUD cost, they take the exchange rate the day it leaves port in Japan. On top of that you pay freight customs, q/t steam cleaning towing to the compliance shop and your customs broker (if you have one) . All that should be about $2000 you add that to the car cost and import duty, then you 10% gst on the total and thats the final landed cost .

Then comes compliancing costs , that will depend on the car you import and the work needed, you have to arrange that with your RAW before you import it. The RAW will get the import approval and pay the goverment the $160 fee .

When you get the compliance plate on the car your RAW should supply you with a blue slip( in NSW) you buy a green slip ( NSW) and take all the paper work to the RTA. You will pay for the rego ( depending on the weight of the car $240-340 ) + stamp duty 3% of the market value of the car, up to $46k and anything over that its 5%.

Sorry dude but i thought someone in the later primary school years would be able to calculate that.

If you are still in primary school you have a few years before you can drive a car so you don't need to worry about a car for a while .

Closed because you can do the maths yourself, especially with wrxhoon's detailed reply.
