I am planing a trip to japan in the next couple months and i really want to get info on sending a container back home to australia. i have a group of friends who wish to put in an order for multiple engines and parts if i can source them. I have a contact over there who has a garage, truck, tools etc and will help me dissemble and pack everything. My question is not directly for cost to ship container (but if anyone has info would be much appreciated) but more toward cost getting through customs etc. Will i be allowed to bring that much parts over personally without being a registered importer with an abn in aus? Do i need proof i am not importing to resell? if i do need a licence how do i acquire one and at what cost? any info will be much appreciated

Might ring a customs broker on monday or something.

This.

This is a good move.

Ask about customs and quarantine responsibilities. And dont be stupid and let your mates hang you out to dry by not paying beforehand.

indeed. this is part of the reason i will not tke an order without getting full payment on it first.

clearing a container properly is about $6k . grab a broker and get talking.

I just spent 5 years in Japan teaching, retired and came back to Aus with 2 containers, including a bunch of car parts/halfcuts.

Basically expect to pay around $12,000 on top of your parts/car price by the time your 20 foot cube is in the backyard.

If you cant find any info on the net or by calling your customs agent your welcome to give me a call any time (02)66333131 at home or email [email protected]

I did end up registering for an ABN etc but its more of a hobby than a business for me at this point.

No problem for a private person to bring in a box but be VERY careful of lots of middlemen trying to get some extra $ out of you as they assume you dont know what your doing....

      Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
