search the forum, these have been answered quite a few times. tdawg in particular is a proponent of DIYing the import process.

in a way, he's right. you assume the role of the broker and handle all the paperwork. obviously someone else ships the car, someone else complies the car, etc.

like just about any middleman, you can do their job if you have time and resources. i went with a broker on both of my imports and probably will on the next one too, simply because they have the contacts and the reputation to lose.

have a search on the forum for stories of uncompliable imports that have to be re-exported or destroyed. sobering.

So what’s the difference between you importing directly off the jap exporter or your broker importing off the exact same jap exporter on your behalf?

It costs you $1000 extra?

Exactly the same results and risks?

The amount of paperwork is almost nothing, you fill out a form or two and you email or fax another form or two. Your compliancer and customs broker will be doing most of the paperwork.

On one hand it makes me sad that after using a broker twice you don’t have the sense to not use one, if there is a third import.

On the other hand its people like you that make people with a bit of common sense, blinging rich. When I get out of uni I will need your dollars

tdawg whilst I'm sure a lot of us agree that taking the time to cut out some steps in the import process can go a long way towards saving money, we don't need to see this in every single thread in the imports section..

We don’t? Who are we? Are you trying to say that you and everyone else on this forum are a group who have the same opinion?

I see posts constantly from people who think paying some import broker in Australia is the only, or best way to get a car here.

Look three posts up from yours and you will see one.
