A1-AT Service can assist you in hauling completely from one port to another or you can elect the door-to-door option and have it all taken care of while you do other things. Because there are several ports in Australia that you can choose from to deliver to. As each port has its own fees and charges, it is not easy to estimate the total it will cost you to import until you know more details about your import first.

Procedures for Import

Working with your designated agent through Service will ensure that you have all the necessary paperwork needed for this journey and you have followed all the rules and regulations of importing so there are no delays or any delays experienced are minimal. While it doesn’t always go easily, it is good to know that you have hired an experienced company that has over twenty years of experience behind them and knows what to do every step.

Autos that operate in the country of Australia have standards that must be adhered to in order to continue to operate. Imported vehicles are no different. Because of these standards, you may need to modify it and have maintenance work completed on it before its importing date. The cost of these modifications and maintenance work is going to be your responsibility.

Details

You will have two methods to choose from; Roll On/ Roll Off and container method. With roll-on/roll-off, your auto will be driven onto the deck of the ship where it will be strapped down and secured. Once it reaches the port in Australia, it will be driven off of the ship and into the hands of customs for clearance. The container method will involve it being placed inside the container where you will have the opportunity to load it the rest of the way with clothing and household goods before it is sealed up and loaded by crane onto the deck of the ship. This method allows your vehicle to stay protected throughout the trip from one country to another. You can choose from two different-sized containers that will house a small or a large vehicle depending on your needs.
