Eligibility & Compliance Approvals

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

This Toyota Hiace KDH222 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. Eligibility is tied to the body configuration and the exact build years, variants and model codes named on the approval.

How Carbarn runs this import. Carbarn sources 1/2004 to 8/2026 Toyota Hiace 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.

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.
