just passing through as tempory imports

According to your own statement a few posts back a foreign flag yacht entering at Bundaberg and clearing at Darwin has indeed been imported if only temporarily ...

"Foreign yachts may now be temporarily imported into Australia for up to 3 years without paying duty or Goods and Services Tax. "

Whether the yacht stays for 3 weeks or 3 years its status is the same whilst in Australia.... I see no 'in transit' classification....

I think you might be splitting the hairs a little fine here. Atoll's intent is clear. Maybe this minor correction will help you if you still don't understand what he is saying.

great,be sure to specify that the vessels in question are foreign flagged,not being permanently (added) imported into Australia,and by non Australian citizens.
