Hi ppl,

I have some items from japan being held at custom. I am looking around yellowpages and I dont know who I should use as my custom broker.

Could anyone please recommend one? How much would it cost for the service? This is my first time doing this, so wouldnt have a clue.

And Yes, I have use search function but nothing really specifically address my question.

Thanks

umm..

you don't need a broker, custom will contact you if they require you to play tax, if not custom will check it over and if everything is ok you should get it within a week or so just depends how long custom wants to hold it for or how busy they are... i had one item held for about 2weeks they must have just been busy..

Thanks for the input [Michael]

They sent me some forms to fill up...but they require me to register to get a Declaration ID (for example: ABN, CCID (custom client identification ID), or Client activity Centre No. (CAC)) first...

is that the normal procedure?

The items all add up more than A$1000...

also, can i just go to the custom office and settle everything down over there and collect my items? Anyone know where is the office? tried to look at their website but nothing much there.

did you get a registering as a member form (something like that), if so fill that out and fill it out for the supplier, and with the declaration dont neet to worry about the abn ccid etc. you can fill out the registering form on the behalf of the supplier. with the supplier just fill out all you know, with mine one did i just put down a name and e mail. also it will help if you give them reciet of your purchase and proof of payment and also your ID like you drivers license.

if need any help just ask i just done mine for my bride seats, got mine off greenline

i know all my items which were stop in custom where over in Melbourne, never in perth.

as flash89 said proof of amount paid on the item is important, if you paid by bank transfer go to the bank and get a transcript of the transaction. As they may (i can't remember) ask you to prove the amounted paid is the amount of the ems form. OR most likly it just you have to pay tax as the order was over $1000

also i just just reading over again you said that if all the items add up to $1000, thought it was only if one item was over $1000 that you might have to pay dutys etc

if you have all the items ship together, then i believe its the total value of all the items

I have my items shipped separately (each item has their own article number/tracking number).

also, the sender actually marked them as gift.

One of the items has actually been delivered. The rest were held in the custom :thumbsup:

i am guessing it is all in one box cause i ordered the bride seats with rails all in one hit with mine. got the rails but seats got stopped in customs also i got coil overs aswell and they were 1400ish and they didnt get stopped by customs but i am guessing cause they were in two boxes. wouldnt hurt to ask about it.

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
