Oi All,
Recent free trade agreements and subsequent changes to Customs Importation of motorcycle parts are now in effect. Many of you remember how difficult it was to import a frame but alot of that has changed as well. The new rules are as follows
*No Import duty
*$70 importation Declaration Fee if the total landed value is over $1000
*GST on the total landed value
*No prior permission required
*No 15 year age bullshit so you can buy a brand new frame without hassle
* Customs Clearance fee $110
*You do not need any licences or other permits to import motorcycle parts anymore.
* Frames by themselves are no problem but add an engine and you've got problems.
Hope that helps some people. If you purchase a frame with documentation showing it to be older then you can get the finished bike Engineered at that years rules.
