JDM Importer for Tasmania

Tasmanian buyers ship into Melbourne with a Bass Strait crossing on the Spirit's freight deck to finish the journey. Your car ships RoRo from Auckland into Port of Melbourne, clears with your broker there, and we coordinate onward transport anywhere in Tasmania.

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 — 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.
