Re: Immigration to Austrailia - Importing vehicles

I moved over here from NZ about 2 and a half years ago but we have different rules being a NZ citizen moving to Aus.I think your best bet will be to call and talk to someone in person at immigration.They will point you in the correct direction.There will always be hidden costs.Don't think there will...
