Few things you will need to keep
in mind in Australia
ENTRY OF BIKES INTO AUSTRALIA
Carnet & Bike Keys : Location to collect your carnet
and bike keys depends on the airline with whom you
air-freight your bike. We collected ours from No. 1
APAC Drive, which is very close to Melbourne airport.
Fees are around AUD 650.
Our Airline Warehouse : It was located about 10
minutes walk away from the customs warehouse. Your
carnet and passport copy have to be deposited there.
You must return the next day, as they need 24 hours
to process the documentation.
Quarantine : After clearing Carnet and Customs,
proceed to the Quarantine Department (Australian
Government Department of Agriculture and Water
Sources). The paperwork takes about 20 minutes. After
registering your enquiry, you must call and book the
time for the bike inspection.
Inspection : It was done at APAC No. 1, where our
bikes were parked. Their main inspection was the
cleanliness of tyres. The officer was very friendly and
inspection was competed in 5 minutes.
