This Toyota Crown GRS182 is approved for import to Australia under 2 SEVS approvals SEV-000696 and SEV-000697, all granted on the Performance Criterion, supported by Model Report Entry MRE-000008 issued by ADR MODEL REPORTS PTY LTD. Approvals cover builds from Jan 2004 to Dec 2009.
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 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.
All timeframes are estimates and may vary depending on auction availability, VIA approval, shipping, and compliance.
Working from your model, year range, budget, grade, and odometer criteria, we shortlist candidate auction lots and arrange pre-bid inspection where possible before a bid is placed.
Vehicle is secured in Japan after the approved bid succeeds.
Carbarn lodges the Vehicle Import Approval (VIA) application before the vehicle ships from Japan.
