Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

Ok, can I ask a dumb question? I'm trying to compare landed cost of importing a boat against buying one advertised locally. What is the normal situation for GST when Australian brokers advertise? ...

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

Here's a map of inclination. It is probably a case of cheaper compasses not being designed to tolerate the range and in particular the dip at higher latitudes. Do more expensive compasses include a...

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

My guess (thats all it is) is that if you bought the boat in the name of a company, and that company was not Australian then you could likely bring it to Australia without Au registration or import...

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia
