Classics. Land Rovers. GTs. Done For You.
Get a fast, obligation-free quote to import your British car into Australia. Whether it's a heritage classic, a Land Rover, a luxury grand tourer or a modern supercar — no guesswork, no hidden costs, no compliance surprises. And because the UK drives on the left like us, there's no steering conversion required.
Importing a British car into Australia isn't just about shipping — it's about regulation, compliance, timing, and cost control. The 25-year cut-off, SEVS eligibility and asbestos rules all matter, and one mistake can delay your car for months or cost you thousands. Dazmac handles the entire process end-to-end — from a UK driveway or auction to yours — so you don't have to navigate British logistics and Australian government approvals alone.

We first confirm whether your UK vehicle can legally be imported into Australia — checking the 25-year rule, SEVS Register and Personal Import Scheme before you commit or bid at auction.
No eligibility? We tell you upfront — saving you time and money.
Vehicle Import Approvals (VIA) through ROVER, UK V5C & export documentation, customs declarations and biosecurity requirements. This is where many imports fail — our experience prevents costly errors.
We collect from the seller and load at the nearest major UK port — Southampton, London Gateway, Felixstowe or Liverpool — via shared container or RORO, with realistic timelines and full transparency throughout the ~40-day journey.
We manage customs clearance, coordinate inspections, asbestos testing and RAW compliance work to ensure every Australian standard is met. No confusion. No last-minute surprises.
Once approved and compliant, your vehicle is released and delivered — ready for registration in your state or territory.
Importing from the UK operates under multiple Australian government pathways. Picking the wrong one is the most common — and most expensive — mistake. Here's how we match your British car to the right scheme.
Vehicles 25 years or older (measured by build date, not model year) qualify for import under concessional entry. Perfect for Jaguar E-Types, classic Minis, MGs, Triumphs, early Land Rovers and pre-2001 British collectables.
For modern British performance, rare, or unique vehicles meeting one of six eligibility criteria — think McLaren, Lotus, Aston Martin & performance saloons. All SEVS imports must be processed by a Registered Automotive Workshop (RAW).
Australian citizens, PRs and eligible visa holders relocating from the UK who've owned their vehicle for 12+ months can import it under the Personal Import option — one vehicle per five years.
Whether you're importing one British car or a whole fleet, the process is handled with the same precision.
Importing a personal dream car from Britain — one vehicle, handled like it's our own.
Rare collector, classic and performance British cars — SEVS, 25-year and concessional pathways.
Relocating from the UK under the Personal Import Scheme — with proper documentation & timing.
Commercial vehicles, dealer stock & bulk movements with consolidated freight and customs clearance.
Many people attempt to import a British car themselves — and regret it. The most expensive part of importing from the UK is usually the part you didn't know about.
With Dazmac, you get it done right the first time.
Importing from the UK into Australia is highly regulated. Freight companies ship cars. Dazmac imports them.
As a guide, sea freight from UK ports averages around 40 days, and VIA processing typically takes 3–4 weeks (these can overlap). Add compliance and delivery time on arrival. We'll provide a realistic, end-to-end estimate during your quote based on your car, the chosen scheme and the departure port.
No. The UK drives on the left and British cars are right-hand drive — the same as Australia — so there's no steering conversion required. This makes the UK one of the most straightforward markets to import from.
No. We provide transparent pricing and explain all potential costs upfront — including UK port handling, freight, marine insurance, customs duty, 10% GST, Luxury Car Tax (if applicable), asbestos testing, compliance work and delivery.
Yes — from UK collection and approvals to shipping, compliance and Australian delivery. We're a licensed Customs & Quarantine broker with bonded depots in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Fremantle.
Australia has a zero-tolerance asbestos policy, and older British vehicles can carry asbestos in brakes, gaskets and clutches. Testing is mandatory and costs roughly $800–$1,000 if done locally. We can coordinate offshore testing before shipment to save you time and money.
We consolidate and ship from every major UK port, including Southampton, London Gateway, Felixstowe and Liverpool — via shared container for valuable, modified or low-clearance cars, or RORO for standard road vehicles. We recommend the right method and port per vehicle.
