Applying for a Vehicle Import Approval (VIA) can be very time consuming and quite frankly confusing. Taurus Logistics are very familiar in dealing with the Department of Infrastructure and can apply for the Vehicle Import Approval on your behalf.

We only require a small amount of information as below and our fee of AUD250.00 + GST which includes the fees charged by the Department of Infrastructure. Once we have applied for the Import Approval it will take 30 business days (as per Department of Infrastructure guide) to receive the approval.

Please do not ship your vehicle until the permit has been approved.
