How This Import Calculator Works

This New Zealand import calculator gives an indicative estimate for importing a vehicle from New Zealand to Australia. Enter the purchase price in New Zealand dollars and the calculator converts it using the exchange rate you set, then applies the shipping, tax and fee lines shown above. The total is an estimate only. The New Zealand dollar can move against the Australian dollar, so the result may differ at purchase and shipping.

What Can Affect Your Final Import Cost?

New Zealand is closer than Japan or the UK, and it has a large pool of right-hand drive and JDM vehicles already in the market. Shorter shipping does not remove Australian import processes. Inspections, history checks, GST, compliance and the specific vehicle still change the landed cost. State roadworthy, registration and stamp duty are not included in this estimate.
