Shipping and Export to Australia
Can anyone provide me with any information on how to ship motorcycles over to Australia (Melbourne). My husband has two Vespa's which are our pride and joy! We would love to take them with us, but I'm not sure about the practicality and price of shipping them, as oposed to selling in the UK and buying new bikes in Oz?
Any ideas or advice will be greatly recieved! Thanks.

Re: Shipping and Export to Australia
You will need to prove that you have owned and used then over the last 12 months and then you will need to contact AQIS to obtain a import permit for them (just remember you can only bring one each as a personal import) unless they are old before 1989,you can ask your shipping agency about this.When you have them in oz it might be difficult to get them road worth but just search forums on BE
