 Posted: Fri Apr 25, 2008 3:41 pm Post subject: Cost of importing from the US |
  |
|
With the strong Aus$ and the lower selling price of decent trikes in the US, I'd like to investigate the option of importing one. Has anyone found a cost effective method of doing this, and if so, could you provide some details as to the approximate cost and time taken, etc?
Thanks |

| Thanks guys, I'd appreciate any advice you can offer. I'd really like a 350X and if I could get one delivered for around $3500 I'd be keen. I see decent ones going for US$1500 or so, so it seems feasible? |

greenhuman just bought one over it was like brand new ,I think he just sold it not sure ?
I think he uses containers he might be able to get you one.
There is a creaters and freighters i have used in the past it is still air mail but take 3-4 weeks but they will pack it in a box for you for a fee.

|

Your rough costs are hundreds per trike from USA to Aus, plus delivery from where trike is purchased to where container is to be packed.
Then when it gets here you have 10% GST plus a few other costs depending on if you use and agent or do all the paper work yourself. |
