On the Australian Side
Before Your Vehicle Leaves Australia
A few things need sorting in Australia before a car or machine is shipped. Our team prepares the export paperwork, including an export declaration where one is required.
WA number plates
Return the plates to a Department of Transport and Major Infrastructure (DTMI) service centre or regional agent, which cancels the licence. You can then apply for a pro rata refund of the unused licence fee through DoTDirect or the Application for Refund form.
Other states
The process differs by state. Check with your state’s transport department.
Your papers
Keep the vehicle’s Australian registration and ownership papers. We tell you which documents we need from you.
Preparation
We will tell you how to prepare the vehicle or machine for shipping before it comes to us.
