Thread: Getting my UK 110 into Aus for 6 - 12 months

I have send LR`s twice to AUS and other places. I also organised the shipping for a few friends worldwide. My tips for you are the following...
-most important, don t ship into Sydney! Nothing wrong with the NSW members hereBut, there are some (port-)politics, which may not work in your favour.
-take pictures of all your equipment and write a list. Include pics, where to find VIN and engine number. Send this list to your customs agent in advance....
-steam clean the car several times, let it dry and go over again and again. Use some tyre products and don t forget to clean your camping stuff as well! They may check!!
-check with your shipping agent about a solution to replace the wooden blocks with some other material.
- I never drained the fuel tank complete.....
- get TAC cover ( I had different types of TAC cover, depending where I went)
- 6 5to ratched straps should do the trick, even for a heavy 110.
This sounds after a lot and there is more for sure. But, it is definitly worth the troubles. Nothing better than opening the doors and see your car again....... marc

Out of interest, what size container is this, and what was the height of your Land rover...????
