  • The Department is releasing updated and expanded explanatory material for the pre-1989 scheme.  The explanatory material is currently open for public comment.

    The pre-1989 scheme is designed to cater for the importation of older enthusiast, classic or historic motor vehicles  for example, vehicles destined for restoration and hobby use, whether by an individual owner or within a car club.  The scheme is a concessional scheme, and permits the importation of vehicles outside of normal certification arrangements.

  • A change to the vehicle quota under the personal imports scheme will come into effect on 18 November 2010.  The scheme allows migrants settling in Australia, and expatriate Australian citizens returning permanently to Australia after a long period overseas, to bring their personal vehicles with them.  The amendment changes the quota from one vehicle every 12 months to one vehicle every 5 years.
