Regulations
Before you purchase your bike you need to be aware that you will need to apply to the Federal Government for approval to import your bike and therefore must complete an application; once submitted this process usually takes approximately 3 to 4 weeks.
To be able to import a race vehicle you need to hold the appropriate race licence for the type of race vehicle you wish to import (CAMS, ANDRA etc).
You will need to provide a statement with your import application that the vehicle is a purpose built Race vehicle and is not designed for highway use.
The following information is required with your application
- Copy of the Bill Of Sale (invoice)
- Picture of the vehicle
- Copy of your race licence
- Proof of identity (if this is your first import)
- **Applications can be made online HERE.
Process
