Alert - Importation of Vehicles Manufactured Before 1 January 1989

The Government has announced changes to the arrangements for the importation of vehicles 15 years or older. Under the new rules, vehicles manufactured before 1 January 1989 may be imported without restriction. Vehicles built during 1989 (or later) will need to qualify under the Registered Automotive Workshop Scheme (RAWS).

The new rules apply from 13 May 2005. However, transitional arrangements will apply to importers who have made a financial commitment prior to the Minister's announcement on 7 February 2005. These arrangements will continue until 31 December 2005. The Media Release and Frequently Asked Questions outline the new requirements and detail the transitional arrangements.
