I'm looking at importing something (thinking 180sx, r32, r33, haven't really decided yet) and so I've been researching tax, GST, shipping, and all that other stuff.
With "Carizma" as my source, there is a 10% GST, and a 10% import tax (http://carizma.com.au/Pages/Import%20-%20Regulations.htm)
It costs roughly $1000 to ship a car, and an additional $200 for insurance (http://carizma.com.au/Pages/Import%20-%20Shipping.htm)
I've found a nice, clean, late model 180sx for less than $7000 AUD on "Tradecarview" (http://www.tradecarview.com/used_car/japan%20car/nissan/180sx/4929207/)
So all this will cost around $9600, which is a pretty good price I reckon.
Thing is, this seems too small a price to pay. I've been looking around on SAU and they say there are other costs that cost several thousand dollars.
FOR WHAT?!
Anyone who has experience/knowledge on this topic, please share your wisdom!
Thanks everyone
