JDM Importer for Melbourne

Melbourne is a direct Tasman RoRo run from Auckland into the country's biggest vehicle port. VicRoads inspection is routine for factory-spec cars; modified cars go through VASS engineering approval.

Importify Cars is a New Zealand vehicle exporter. We source, verify and ship Japanese performance cars from the deepest JDM pool outside Japan to buyers across Australia. New Zealand imported Japan's best for thirty years: Skyline GT-Rs, Supras, RX-7s, Evos and Type Rs with English-language ownership history, NZTA odometer records, and the option of a physical inspection before you commit, none of which a Japanese auction grade sheet gives you.

Importing to Australia: what to know

  • Vehicles manufactured 25 or more years ago are eligible under the Road Vehicle Standards Act's older-vehicle pathway (import approval via ROVER). Supras, R32/R33 GT-Rs and Evos qualify today, with R34s rolling in through 2027.
  • Newer enthusiast cars on the SEVS list come in through a Registered Automotive Workshop, which handles compliance and fits the identification plate.
  • Every car must be certified asbestos-free before Australian customs, and we handle NATA-accredited testing in Auckland as part of pre-shipment prep.
  • Budget for 5% duty, 10% GST, and Luxury Car Tax above the threshold. Our calculator itemises all three.
