Do you mean exporting it to Australia from NZ!

I sent a 1964 Cortina over in October and it was a long and expensive process for the new owner. It cost him AUD$6,800 in freight and fees to Brisbane. I am not certain if that included their GST. The import permissions took about three months. There is a form you can download now - Google it, the fee for that form is $50 and you can't start anything much without it approved

There are quite a few documents required so you are probably better off with an agent. I can't recommend one, but I can sure as heck tell you one to avoid (when and if you get closer)

Feck, that's the thick end of NZ$10K.One hopes that included rego and compliance at their end and shipping agents fees etc.What a shocker.

It was a race car so no 'rego'

We both think he got ripped off by the agent though. The agent was a dick.

I think the actual freight (an entire 20ft container as the car was on a trailer) was AUD$2.7k

Geeze thats even worse, the figures I've always heard about have been in the region of NZ$4K just to get it to one of the east coast ports, plus ORC's, fumigation etc.I'd sure as hell want to know where the extra costs came in.
