India to Australia (Syd)
 
Hey Guys,

so have another thread about getting an Enfield Bullet 500 in India for a 6 week holiday.

At the end of the Holiday I would love to bring the bike back to Sydney with me, question is what sort of costs would I be looking at for transport and import taxes ect.

I am aware that you need to do some minor modifications to satisfy Australian standards and get the bike squeaky clean for import, so…

- Is one of the major cities in India better to export bikes from than the others?
- What are the transport costs?
- Are there any import costs?
- Should I try to get the mods for Australian roads done in India before I leave?

Also is it true that by the time you pay all the extra costs associated with sea freight that air freight works out much the same for a fraction of the time?

Thanks guys.

Aus is a right pain to sort out permanently importing to. Check out the VSB10 brochure from Dept of Infrastructure and Transport for the extensive list of criteria you'll have to meet. Before you can ship first you have to get import approval from Aus. I think this will cause more of a problem than any of the questions you've asked in your post. Sorry for the negative news mate.
