Verified on the Australian Government Rover register · 3 SEVs · 5 MREs
This Toyota Crown GWS214 is approved for import to Australia under 3 SEVS approvals SEV-000722, SEV-000136 and SEV-000721, all granted on the Performance Criterion, supported by 5 Model Report Entries (MREs) including MRE-000779, MRE-000075, MRE-000139, plus 2 more on the Rover register from accredited Australian Vehicle Verifiers including SYDNEY AVV PTY LTD. Approvals cover builds from Sept 1999 to June 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. We source 12/2012 to 6/2018 examples through approved Japanese auction houses, verify build and condition sheets before bidding, and handle every downstream step on your behalf — international freight, Australian customs entry, biosecurity inspection, and the full SEVS compliance program at our Sydney workshop. Final delivery includes paperwork for state registration.
All timeframes are estimates and may vary depending on auction availability, VIA approval, shipping, and compliance.
We shortlist suitable vehicles matching the target model, year range, budget, grade, mileage, and condition. We arrange pre-bid physical inspection where possible before any bid is placed.
Once your approved bid wins, the vehicle is secured at the auction in Japan.
The VIA application is submitted to the Department of Infrastructure before any vessel is booked.
