HI - I am a Harley Davidson Trike Owner , It is a 1997 Ultra Classic with a Lehman Trike conversion all fitted at manufacture.
I am moving to Australia from the U.K. in Feb 2010 and I need advice on how to import the bike.
My stuff is being shipped and I have room in my container to take my beloved Trike.
NOW THE ADVICE-
HOW DO I GET APPROVAL THAT THE VEHICLE WILL MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR IMPORT?
HOW DO I GET AN AUSTRALIAN VALUATION WHICH WILL LIMIT MY LIABILITY FOR TAX? ( IE FROM A TRUSTED BODY THAT CUSTOMS WILL ACCEPT)
DO I HAVE TO PAY DUTY AND GST ?( IS THERE A WAY OF MINIMISING THIS )
WHAT CHANGES WILL I HAVE TO MAKE TO THE BIKE ( I.E KM/PER HR CLOCK)
WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP
CHEERS
