no import duties for returning Aussies
PurLeaaaaase tell me this means we don`t have to pay import duties if we decide to take our car back (as I am a returning Aussie). I found this nugget while browsing www.excessbaggage.com :
"At the time of writing, returning Australian residents are entitled to duty free entry on goods which they have owned and used overseas for a period of twelve months or more preceding their departure for Australia."
"At the time of writing, returning Australian residents are entitled to duty free entry on goods which they have owned and used overseas for a period of twelve months or more preceding their departure for Australia."

One thing to bear in mind... imports are less desirable than an equivalent local car, and shippers aren't known for their care and attention.
