Importing a car into Australia and Asbestos
Discussion
I have posted this in the import section but it's important enough to have its own thread.
One other issue that's just been enacted is the Australian Boarder force now asking if there is any asbestos in the car. Now don't take this lightly, as part of the declaration there is there any Asbestos in the car. If you are not aware if there is be advised that they may require an assessment by an An approved National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia (NATA) assessor . Sadly this is all a lucky dip.
A import agent should be quizzed about this to make sure they are aware of this and if they aren't use one that is. A good friend had a very valuable car severely damaged by an assessor as most don't inspect cars.
Brake pads, clutch plate, besides with some early Italian exotics have in the floor and firewall.
They will remove it at your expense.
Do you homework on the parts fitted to the car that may contain asbestos. Weirdest one is it was used in some windscreen sealants..
