When filling out a Vehicle Import Compliance Statement (VICS) for importing a vehicle into Australia, certain documents need to be attached. These documents serve to verify the vehicle's eligibility for import and comply with the country's regulations. Here are some documents you may need to attach to your VICS BOL:
1. Proof of Ownership: You will need to provide evidence that you legally own the vehicle. This can be in the form of a vehicle registration certificate or title issued by the country/state where the vehicle was first registered.
2. Bill of Sale: A bill of sale is a document that shows the transfer of ownership from the seller to the buyer. It includes details such as the vehicle's make, model, VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), purchase price, and the signatures of both parties.
3. Import Approval: If your vehicle requires an import approval, such as a vehicle identification plate or a vehicle import approval certificate, you must attach a copy of this document to the VICS BOL. This approval confirms that your vehicle meets certain safety and emission standards.
4. Customs Documentation: You may need to include customs-related documents, such as a copy of the import declaration form, customs entry documents, or any relevant permits or certificates issued by the customs authorities.
5. Compliance Certificates: If your vehicle has undergone modifications or repairs to meet Australian safety and emissions standards, attach copies of the compliance certificates issued by an approved vehicle modifier or engineer.
6. Evidence of Roadworthiness: Some states in Australia may require a roadworthiness inspection before registering or licensing an imported vehicle. Include any roadworthy certificates or inspection reports as proof of the vehicle's condition.
7. Identification/Verification Documents: You might need to attach personal identification documents, such as your passport or driver's license, to verify your identity as the owner/importer of the vehicle.
8. Transport/Shipping Documents: If the imported vehicle arrives in Australia via a shipping or transportation service, include relevant documents such as the bill of lading, shipping invoice, or airway bill.
Remember to carefully review the specific requirements and guidelines provided by the Australian Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, and Communications or consult with a professional vehicle importer/customs agent to ensure you have included all necessary documents with your VICS BOL.
