Importing truck from U.K. to Aus

[Mike K]

The customs people at this end can and do sometimes impound the vehicle, they park it in a parking lot for whatever length of time ( you as the importer pay hundreds of dollars per day storage fees ) . They then get a professional fumigator to throw a insect bomb inside a tarp ( again you pay for all of this ) . All of this can add $$$$$ to your final bill . Remember when it comes to dealing with customs staff, common sense goes out the door . All of this scenario happened to two club members here .
