Eligibility & Compliance Approvals

Verified on the Australian Government Rover register · 3 SEVs · 3 MREs

This Toyota Crown Hybrid AZSH20 is approved for import to Australia under 3 SEVS approvals SEV-000943, SEV-000358 and SEV-000941, all granted on the Environmental Criterion, supported by 3 Model Report Entries (MREs) MRE-000367, MRE-000404 and MRE-000953 from accredited Australian Vehicle Verifiers including SYDNEY AVV PTY LTD. Approvals cover builds from June 2018 to July 2022.

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.
