Eligibility & Compliance Approvals

Verified on the Australian Government Rover register · 2 SEVs · 4 MREs

This Honda S660 JW5 is approved for import to Australia under 2 SEVS approvals SEV-000990 and SEV-000393, all granted on the Environmental Criterion, supported by 4 Model Report Entries (MREs) including MRE-000256, MRE-000225, MRE-000344, plus 1 more on the Rover register from accredited Australian Vehicle Verifiers including ADR MODEL REPORTS PTY LTD. Approvals cover builds from Feb 2015 to Mar 2022.

Why qualified — Environmental Criterion. The SEVS Environmental Criterion covers vehicles with a measurable emissions or fuel-economy advantage over equivalent vehicles supplied in volume to the Australian market. Approval is granted on the basis of the published environmental thresholds. 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 1/2020 to 10/2021 Honda S660 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.

Please note: This explainer is general information only. Eligibility for import under SEVS is determined exclusively by the published approval on the Rover register and the Road Vehicle Standards Rules 2019. Carbarn cross-checks the exact build year, variant and model code against the published approval before bidding — confirming the published approval is the binding source.
