Frequently asked questions

How long does shipping a car from the UK to Australia take?

38–48 days RORO depending on route, weather and transhipment.

Do I need SEVS for a personal import to Australia?

Yes, unless the car is 25+ years old or qualifies under the new RAWS framework for limited models.

Will my car pass biosecurity?

Only with a professional steam-clean of every panel, arch, undertray and tyre tread. Soil traces cause re-export at customer expense.
