Car Customs Value |
 |
The value placed on your car can be according to one of two valuations:
- The car's value based on the "Original Country Purchase Price" which may take a depreciation of value into account.
- According to the value of the car once in Australia. This rate may reach up to 50% below true market value.
 |
 |
After the value of your car has been established the appropriate taxes and duties you will need to pay for your car can then be determined.
