Australia: confirm the exact variant and obtain approval before shipping
An import approval is required before importing a road vehicle. An entry on the SEVs Register is only a step in a possible route, not permission to import an individual vehicle. Confirm the exact variant and applicable pathway before paying or arranging shipment.
No listed vehicle is represented as eligible for import. Before paying a deposit, ask your local importer and relevant authority to check the exact VIN, model and variant.

Prepare before committing
- Give your importer the VIN, build date and exact variant; ask which approval application applies.
- If using the SEVs/RAW route, confirm a current register entry, access to an approved Model Report and the workshop’s ability to meet the requirements.
- Obtain the applicable import approval before shipping. Ask separately about compliance work, verification, RAV entry and state or territory registration.
Questions for your importer
- Does the approved entry cover this exact variant and build period?
- Are the Model Report, workshop and individual approval available for this vehicle?
- Who pays for modifications, verification, storage and registration if requirements are not met?

Enquire with these details
Send the stock ID or sourcing brief, destination and port, importer details, intended use and timing. Request a written quote identifying included and excluded work, responsible parties, payment terms and unresolved approvals. Freight, insurance and destination services must be specifically confirmed; an enquiry does not reserve a vehicle or confirm transport or delivery.
