Mr R32 M-Spec Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I got an email back from Jspec about customs and stuff this morning and it sounds like its all organised for me "Once the car arraives you will be sent an invoice from the customs clearance agents - this will include import duty, GST, port charges, etc... payment for this will need to be made into their local bank account before the car is released from the ports. You have to use a customs agent, it is not possible to lodge a customs clearance without a licenced agent" Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/51288-your-car-coming-into-oz/page/4/#findComment-1031205 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewid Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 You certainly can lodge customs clearance by yourself. You must attend the dock the day your car is unloaded to do it. Licensed agents can lodge the customs clearence before the ship docks.

SteveL Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Got the 'Arrival Notice' from the shipping company this morning. ETA is 4/10 (Monday). Ship berths at Webb Dock which is only about 1km from where I work so might go down and have a look (I know I won't be able to get to the car, but might catch a glimpse....) Still no B/L and I've noticed they've spelt my street address wrong on the arrival notice (one letter)....hope that doesn't cause any problems.

sewid Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 FYI, my B/L was not sent directly to me, it was sent to my customs agent - perhaps your B/L will to?

SteveL Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 FYI, my B/L was not sent directly to me, it was sent to my customs agent - perhaps your B/L will to? According to Geoff (prestige) it should come to him and then he'll send us (myself and the customs agent) an e-mail copy which should be sufficient to clear the car. Anyway, Geoff keeps saying 'don't worry it'll be here' (guess he must get hundreds of e-mails like that, LOL), but I'd just feel better knowing this last piece of the puzzle was in place.

sewid Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Yeah, im actually quite pissed off with the hole fiasco right now. I have been waiting for my B/L since September 11 and it finally was sent on Monday (after the ship had docked how f'ing useful) and it has arrived in Sydney according to the EMS tracking info but CGL have checked their PO box and nothing. So now because of this i am going to be liable for storage fees over the long weekend, another extra day for steam cleaning. I should send the moron who didnt send the B/L when it arrived the bill for the storage. Importing is about the most frustrating and painful experience you can ever go through.

lwells Posted September 30, 2004 Author Share Posted September 30, 2004 sewid: try and stay positive. It will all be over (and worth it) soon. I dunno... having waited 4+ months so far since purchase, I guess I am just use to it now LW.

Ship docks 3:30am Monday morning, but still no B/L and that's a worry.

sewid Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Everything is done for mine now - went to see it at the docks today and took this photo from a vantage point near the office. Cant get closer because the security wouldnt allow me but at least i can see my car is there: (its the black GTR behind the white skyline ) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/51288-your-car-coming-into-oz/page/4/#findComment-1034635 Share on other sites More sharing options...
