Eligible for import to AustraliaCompliance Available

We source through approved Japanese auctions, arrange inspection where possible, bid with your approval, and manage import and compliance support end to end.
This Honda Civic Type R FD2 is approved for import to Australia under SEVS approval SEV-000659, all granted on the Performance Criterion, supported by 2 Model Report Entries (MREs) MRE-000212 and MRE-000346 from accredited Australian Vehicle Verifiers including SYDNEY AVV PTY LTD. Approvals cover builds from Oct 2006 to Dec 2011.
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.
