Getting off topic
Is this the same Fred who has his stickers on just about every tourist and road sign at every attraction I visited on a recent Central Australian trip???? If it is you must have covered as many miles as me.

Any temporay overseas registered vehicles in New Zealand either need a carnet or leave a 12,5% deposit(based on the value on the vehicle) with NZ Customs. Or that is what I am led to believe.

Carnet not essential
Hey folks,

We brought our 2 UK registered Yammy Diversions into NZ in August without Carnets. It took 2 days to sort out, mainly cos the Customs guys didn't tell us that you need either the receipt for the bike for valuation, or you can get a bike dealer to provide a (sight unseen) valuation. We had to pay $30NZ for it as we didn't have any handy contacts. I recommend doing that & laying it on thick to the dealer about how high a mileage & how much abuse the bike has taken, our valuations were so low that once the customs had deducted the dealer mark-up & shipping costs (that's service not vehicle valuation, but it does get added back in as GST in some wierd way) we had a minus value! I asked if that meant they'd give us money but they would not! Anyway we ended up paying nothing for import tax.

I know from the Oz Govt website that there's a similar process in Australia,
don't know about Japan though.:confused1:

Hey Fred hope you got the racks repaired in Caboolture at a reasonable price. We head out of Brisbane tomorrow morning (Friday) for a 2 day ride. Short notice, but let me know if you want to tag along. Call me on 0405 153000.

Current ride is a Suzuki DL1000 '07 model.
You will love Tasmania, just wait 'til you see the corners. All the roads must have been designed by a motorcyclist.
Enjoy the trip, Glen
