DREMEN Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 I have a question for all those who have imported before.... My car is arriving in AUS on monday... How long did it take your car to clear customs? How long did it take your car to get complianced? How long did it take your car to get registered? I am hoping to have it all done by xmas Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/6683-customs-compliance-time/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GR33DyMANGO Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 customs usually take 3-5 working days. then its off to compliance which can take from 1 week to about 3. once the engineers inspected the car u need to wait about a week for the compliance plate from canberra. so compliance should take 2 weeks at least. well thats for perth ppl i guess. rego takes a few hours if that. all u do is drive it over the pits, and if alls good u just go and pay for rego and stamp duty etc.. then its all yours:D Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/6683-customs-compliance-time/#findComment-99275 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DREMEN Posted November 28, 2002 Author Share Posted November 28, 2002 Shipping takes 16 days There was a small delay getting it onto the boat cause the boats were all full of new cars (which get priority) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/6683-customs-compliance-time/#findComment-99328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cereal Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 My car arrived in australia on the 24th of October & I'm still waiting for the compliance plate. It has been 2 weeks since the car was signed off by the engineer & the plates were ordered. Don't expect your car by christmas. Government things take ALOT longer this time of year.
