Importing S350 From Hk

[bravia]

Hi guys,

Im hoping someone can shed some light on this. One of my close mates who had worked in HK will come back to Australia this June. He has bought a 2000 Mercedez S350 (37,000 kms used) over there and wants to bring it to Sydney, Australia.

The only concern is how much of tax would be imposed. Can anyone with any importing experience tell me how much it would cost?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,

LCT is payable at a rate of 25% for the value over $57,009. Read the customs guide to importing a motor vehicle. Explains the costs pretty well, and how to value the car: http://www.customs.gov.au/webdata/resource...dePrivOwnMV.pdf

Add to that all the other statutory costs associated with importing a vehicle, and assuming he satisfies requirements for a personal import.
