Eligible for import to AustraliaCompliance Available
The Audi S6 Avant 4GC is approved for import to Australia under the SEVS Performance Criterion. Each example carries a V8 TFSI turbocharged engine, a automatic gearbox, and all-wheel drive. We source through approved Japanese auctions, arrange inspection, bid with your approval, and manage import and compliance support end to end.
This Audi S6 Avant 4GC is approved for import to Australia under 2 SEVS approvals SEV-000479 and SEV-001086, all granted on the Performance Criterion, supported by Model Report Entry MRE-000382 issued by SYDNEY AVV PTY LTD. Approvals cover builds from May 2012 to Dec 2018.
Why qualified — Performance Criterion. Approvals granted under the SEVS Performance Criterion apply to vehicles that demonstrate a substantially superior performance specification — for example, power-to-weight, acceleration, or another measurable performance metric — compared with vehicles supplied to the Australian market in volume. Eligibility is build-specific: the exact build years, variants and model codes named on the approval are the binding reference.
How Carbarn runs this import. Carbarn sources 5/2012 to 12/2018 Audi S6 Avant examples through our Japanese partners, with build-sheet and auction-grade verification before any bid is placed. Once won, the vehicle is shipped via roll-on/roll-off freight, cleared through Australian customs, treated under biosecurity rules, and prepared for compliance at our Sydney workshop. The Approved Vehicle Verifier inspection and RAV entry are completed in-house, and you receive the vehicle with paperwork ready for state-level registration.
