Beer is a very experienced manager of Transpeed shipping company. Just call him, go there and everything can be organized very quickly and reliable. It took me 3 hours from zero to a motorcycle cleaned and professionally packed in a custom wooden box, ready to be shipped to Australia. Outstanding!

Import in Australia was an unproblematic but lazy process. Travelling with a CdP, paperwork was a matter of 10 minutes, BUT: They definitely don't work on weekends, don't work too much anyway, so it took 9 (nine!) days to get it out of the port, into the warehouse and inspected (quarantine stuff). And that was without any problem at no stage of the process...

Hint for Melbourne (as of February 2011): All CdP are handled at the customs office next to the international airport (a 10 minutes walk from the terminals), NOT at the main customs building in LaTrobe Street.

Fees and costs:
650 for wooden box and shipping
450 for port handling whatever in Oz
customs is free of charge with the CdP
105 for quarantine inspection at quarantine office
60 for quarantine inspection charged from warehouse...
40 for disposal of the box

Import processing was easy to do on your own, no need for an agency.
