Aircon Gas Import Laws Relaxed

January 10, 2018General News, Import Regulations
Aircon degas exemption

Importers of low numbers of used vehicles into Australia will now be able to import approx. 35 vehicles per year (up to 25kg of gas) without degassing or obtaining a license, thanks to recent amendments to the Degassing Laws.

The rule was originally limited to no more than 5 units (in a single consignment) in a 2 year period per importer.

This rule has been updated for certain aircon gas types: The low volume import conditions for equipment containing HFCs (R134a), PFCs, sulfur hexafluoride have changed and nitrogen trifluoride will be added to the controls from 1 January 2018.

Importers who import up to 25 kilograms of these gases in equipment during a calendar year will not need an equipment licence.

There is no limit on the number of pieces of equipment and the equipment may be imported in one or more consignment.

However the rule still stands at 5 units per consignment for any vehicle containing HCFC (hydrochlorofluorocarbon).

More information on changes to licencing can be found at : http://www.environment.gov.au/protection/ozone/licences-and-reporting/forms

    View auction inspection details and pictures for this 1993 R32 GTR
    I’ve always loved the R32 Nissan Skyline GTR…. since the Bathurst days. I finally decided that i wanted one as a collectible as good ones are hard to come by. After exhausting myself looking for one in mint stock condition locally, I decided to import one from Japan.
    I called a few importers and Geoff @ Prestige Motorsport seemed to me someone who genuinely was interested in helping me find the GTR I was after. After signing up, Geoff kept me informed with cars I may be interested in and which auctions to look out for.
    I eventually found the right car and Geoff kept me updated about the details of the car and sent lots of photos before the auction so I knew what I was paying for.
    I’m very happy with the car and the service I received from Geoff at Prestige Motorsport to source my 1993 R32 GTR. I would happily recommend him to whoever is interested to source a car from Japan.
