Importing from the UK
Our traditional partnership
The United Kingdom remains one of Australia’s long-term trading partners and when importing from the UK it is important to understand the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service rules and the taxes that may be levied on your goods. In certain cases where you purchase a caravan or motor vehicle you will be required to apply for an import permit from the Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development before the goods leave the U.K. At the moment, there is a common trend in Australians importing caravans. Fortunately, assistance with importing from the UK is provided by Platinum®, a leading Australian customs clearance brokerage.
