Car Valuation for Import and Classic Cars
HOW TO OBTAIN A CAR VALUATION FOR YOUR IMPORTED
OR CLASSIC CAR
If you have imported a car to Australia from
Japan, UK, USA or another country that was bought
some time before the import date and has
depreciated since then (or was bought from a
friend for a nominal value), then you wont be
able to use your original purchase invoice or
paperwork for Customs valuation when it comes
time to import your car.
You will then be left asking of Who can value
my car ? or How much is my car worth for the
calculation import duty and GST by Australian
Customs ?.

So How DO You Work Out The Market Value If You
Dont Have A Recent Purchase Invoice ?
In this situation Australian Customs will ask for
an alternative car valuation method and your car
will almost always go redline, meaning further
information / investigation by Customs is
required prior to clearance.

Your Pride And Joy Will Be Stuck On The Wharf
Until Customs Is Satisfied.
Considering wharf storage can cost between 40
and 100 per day, you will want to provide all
requested information as soon as possible so your
car can be quickly cleared from the wharf and
delivered to you before incurring any unnecessary
costs. Sure, you could obtain a free valuation
from some online car value guides such as the red
book car valuation, but online guides for used
car values like this wont be accepted on their
own by Customs in Australia as an expert car
valuation for the purposes of Customs duty
calculation. What Australian Customs wants is an
accurate valuation from a reputable car valuation
expert. After all, even if Customs Officers had
access to comparative pricing for similar
vehicles, they dont have time to research this
for you (and frankly its not their job to value
cars).
