Eligibility & Compliance Approvals

Verified on the Australian Government Rover register · 1 SEV · 1 MRE

This Suzuki Ignis FF21S is approved for import to Australia under SEVS approval SEV-001015, granted on the Environmental Criterion and valid until 18 Dec 2028. The approval is linked to MRE-000985 (Category MA, issued by SHUI MIR PTY LTD) Approvals cover builds from Jan 2016 to Feb 2025.

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 handles every stage of the journey: auction-sheet verification, bidding with your approval, ocean freight, customs and biosecurity clearance, and full SEVS-compliant rectification at our Sydney workshop. Once verified by an Approved Vehicle Verifier, the vehicle is entered into the Register of Approved Vehicles and delivered with documentation suitable for state 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.
