How Carbarn runs this import. Carbarn sources 5/2018 to 7/2026 Suzuki Jimny 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.
All timeframes are estimates and may vary depending on auction availability, VIA approval, shipping, and compliance.
