Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

Very interesting post as it reinforced much of what I have also advised allthough it seemed to ruffle a few feathers along the way. Not one for being blind to better methods and learning it sounds...

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

Maybe because it doesn't happen just because you flew the UK flag? Stop twisting this around. I said I would pay all fees on entry. Pretty much everyone is wanting to do this just so save time and...

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

If your unable to spend the time overseas finding the boat, being on hand while survey is carried out and sailing the boat back I would agree. You obviously did not have the time or confidence to...

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

Sorry but I must disagree, in theory you are correct but in practice not. Customs will be happy to go by your valuation if it can be substantiated. This is why I recommend using a broker as against...

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

Maybe jealousy of the fact that some of us have done it and are just trying to pass on first hand experience while they are still keyboard cruisers. I think the vast majority who read these posts...

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

The first question on entry to Australia will be is the boat staying? If it is you will be required to at least start the import process immediately. If not I believe you will be able to gain a...

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

Rather than argue with you just read D & Ds reply as he is on the money. I was not referring to state registration as the poster PeterC sounded like he was not in Australia.

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

Re: USA to Australia in One Year Starting February 2012

I guess what I am saying is once people head in a direction it usually becomes pointless to dissuade them regardless. Over the years I have found this to be the case whether boats, cars or houses....

Re: USA to Australia in One Year Starting February 2012

Re: Moving to Australia with Dogs Onboard

Re: Moving to Australia with Dogs Onboard

Re: Cruising - running away from yourself to look for something you already have?
