Importing a mini truck to Australia is a straightforward process that has been done by hundreds of people already. When buying through MT.net, we will connect you to all the parties you need to know to get your truck safely into Australia from Japan. Below, please find information on the two main ways you can go about importing them- anyone can do it!
In order to register your mini truck to be street legal in Australia, it will need to be on the SEVS list or be 25 years old.
You can register and drive Japanese mini trucks in most states if they are over 25 years old.
Since most Japanese mini trucks were never sold in the Australian market, they have not been certified by the government for street use. Despite this, recently passed Australian laws exempt cars that are 25 years or older, based on the manufacture date. This means that 25 year old mini trucks are street legal and can be registered and plated.
In addition to the 25 year law, there is a program called SEVS that allows for special models to be approved for import into Australia.
Please check the chart below to see which mini trucks are included on the SEVS list.
The following mini truck and van models are legal to import to Australia:
