6/06/2008 - How to calculate the cost of your import
1) Find your dream car.
2) Go to freight on our website and follow the steps to calculate the approximate cost to import your vehicle.
3) All RAWS imports need to be modified to meet Australian Standards, this is called compliancing, average cost is $2500 plus tyres. This is just an average price for you to be able to calculate an approximate price for your import. Pre 89 cars and personal imports only need an engineering report.
4) HPJI fee $1000 including GST
(CAR PRICE)+(FREIGHT COST)+(COMPLIANCE PRICE)+(HPJI FEE) = CAR COST LANDED IN AUSTRALIA
OTHER COSTS: road worthy certificate (RWC), Repairs, registration and duty
TIPS: once you have calculated your final cost always allow extra so you dont get caught out, we recommend $1000.
SUMMARY:
1+2+3+4= CAR PRICE LANDED IN AUS
Finally if you are happy with the price please contact us to check if this car can be imported to Australia because not all cars can be imported into the country, next we import your vehicle on average it takes 6 weeks to import and compliance.

6/06/2008 - licence required to import precharged aircon units
The Department of Environment,Water,Heritage and the Arts now require a gas license to import your car with the air conditioning gas intact. We at HPJI have access to a gas license so you will not have to pay money to remove the gas overseas nor remove the receiver dryer and filler valve then pay more money to reinstall and re-gas. The license only covers HFCs and HCFCs gas which is found in the newer imports, Some of the older cars have CFC gases and are a Banned substance and must be removed or your car can be exported or destroyed.
