Hi people of Perth,

I am trying to get some information to import a big quantity(10-20 pieces)(prices of product is unknown at this stage) of new aftermarket parts from overseas.

Just keen to know what are the procedures before going on with this project.

Anyone has ever been through the importing process before?

What are the rules, regulation, taxes, permits etc etc. Just need to understand more about the Western Australian law on importing products from overseas.

Thanking all in advance and all advices will be much appreciated.

CHeers!

Regards,

clement

ps: if this project goes through, i might even do a group buy in SAU. :D

Me and a mate of mine are actually trying to get some for ourselves first.

Try it on our car and see if it is as good as what people has been raving about.

Right now, I am wondering what needs to be done at the Custom and also the taxes that will sting me.

With the amount of quantity that i am planning to bring in, most probally fill it up as business import.

(or can i just put it under personal use?) less tax? lol

Yer best thing for you to do is go to a Frieght Fowarding company and get them to bring it in for you i use to work at one so i can help you get a cheap price

- Saves you with all the headaches and fighting

i have got a container which will be coming into Perth mid January next year.

There will be some other stuff inside but i have not deal with parts for vehicles before.

Hence the questions.

thanks Ricca, will contact you soon.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
