toyota imports australia

Bringing a Toyota into Australia can be done, but it’s not just “buy, ship, barbecue.”

You’ll need to qualify under federal schemes—either the 25‑year concessional route, the Specialist & Enthusiast Vehicle Scheme (SEVS) for eligible models, or a personal import if you’ve owned and used it overseas.

Budget for shipping, quarantine cleaning, 10% GST (plus duty/LCT where applicable), compliance to Australian Design Rules via an approved workshop, then state roadworthy and registration.

Left-hand-drive is heavily restricted, asbestos is a hard no, and “cheap” cars get expensive once compliance and parts wake up.

If that sounds like alphabet soup, a licensed import agent can herd the paperwork; or skip the drama and hunt local stock on Tradingpost.
