Eligible for import to AustraliaCompliance Available
The Mercedes-benz E-Class E400 213264 is approved for import to Australia under the SEVS Performance Criterion. Each example carries a 3.5 turbo engine, a automatic gearbox, and all-wheel drive. We source through approved Japanese auctions, arrange inspection where possible, bid with your approval, and manage import and compliance support end to end.
This Mercedes-benz E-Class E400 213264 is approved for import to Australia under 3 SEVS approvals SEV-000674, SEV-001031 and SEV-000411, all granted on the Performance Criterion, supported by 5 Model Report Entries (MREs) including MRE-000415, MRE-000402, MRE-000424, plus 2 more on the Rover register from accredited Australian Vehicle Verifiers including SYDNEY AVV PTY LTD. Approvals cover builds from July 2016 to Sept 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 7/2016 to 9/2018 Mercedes-benz E-Class E400 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.
