Singapore Expats

Am heading back in December - possibly Sydney.
Wondering if anyone has ever shipped a bike to Australia?
Mine is ten years old 650CC - has server me well for years and I'd like to take it with me. Just not sure who to speak to about taxes, duty, etc... I will have a 20ft container but I am sure it won't be allowed in there. Do I need a special packing crate? etc... any help appreciated

My old next door neighbour in Seletar Airbase, decided to 'gift' his 750 Magna to me rather than go through the hassle. Kept it about half a year then sold it as it had too high of a CG for my liking (me with 28" inseam).

Bikes are not that hard to ship and re-register in Australia.

You'll need to factor in shipping, GST and then the inspection / registration fee. Because your bike will not have a "ADR" plate (Australian Design Rules certified plate) you need a special inspection which does vary state by state - so look up and research that.

HOWEVER bikes in Oz are SO much cheaper used than here I don't see the point.

Thanks. I bought my bike for $3500 in SIngapore. A good price. Second hand in Aus it will cost $3-4000 so it the cost of shipping isn't too great, or I can include it in my container, I'd rather take my bike (as it has been looked after well). I was asking if anyone had a ballpark idea on cost of shipping.

$2000 from Singapore to Perth Only. Time taken is 2 weeks. :O

Shipped earlier this year!
