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

This Toyota Hiace KDH205 is approved for import to Australia under 3 SEVS approvals SEV-000719, SEV-000774 and SEV-000813, all granted on the Campervans and Motorhomes Criterion, supported by 3 Model Report Entries (MREs) MRE-000233, MRE-000716 and MRE-000803 from accredited Australian Vehicle Verifiers including SYDNEY AVV PTY LTD. Approvals cover builds from Jan 2004 to Oct 2024.

Why qualified — Campervans and Motorhomes Criterion. Approvals under the SEVS Campervans and Motorhomes Criterion cover vehicles designed, factory-built, or converted as campervans, motorhomes or compatible body configurations.

How Carbarn runs this import.

Final delivery includes paperwork 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.
