    You still need to check they can be sent. As has been said Australia has some very strict import regulations.

    You will almost certainly need more legal information that can be given on an internet forum like this. There are all manner of import rules and regulations and your business must be compliant in all sorts of ways before you will get any further with this.

    Contact a specialist team to guide you through expanding your business in this way.

    Incidentally though, is there really a market for second hand cars in Australia to warrant the costs?

    I got quotes from all the sites and this was by far the cheapest. Not used it yet though, waiting for my next large order from Australia
