Our Process: How Motorcycle Shipping Works

Shipping a motorcycle involves several key steps to ensure compliance with regulations and safe transit. Whether you’re importing to or exporting from Australia, MCC World International handles every detail for a smooth shipping experience. Here’s what’s involved:

1. Preparing Your Motorcycle

Your motorcycle must meet strict cleanliness standards to comply with biosecurity regulations. This includes:

  • Spotless Cleaning: Removing all dirt, soil, and plant material to avoid quarantine issues on arrival.
  • Fuel and Battery Requirements: Draining the fuel tank and disconnecting the battery in line with shipping requirements.

2. Crating and Packaging

  • Crating Standards: All motorcycles must be securely crated unless shipped as part of a group in a container.
  • Timber Compliance: Crates must be built from ISPM15-certified timber or steel to meet international shipping standards. Non-compliant materials are not allowed, so if you’re unsure, leave the crating to us.

3. Documentation and Compliance

Shipping regulations vary by country, but MCC World International manages the required paperwork, including:

  • Import and Export Permits: Ensuring all permits are secured for customs clearance.
  • Tax Exemptions: In countries like New Zealand, we can apply for GST exemptions if you meet eligibility criteria, such as emigrating and already owning the motorcycle.

4. Flexible Shipping Options

Choose the transport method that suits your timeline and budget:

  • Sea Freight: Cost-effective solutions, including Full Container Load (FCL) and Less than Container Load (LCL) options.
  • Air Freight: Ideal for urgent or high-value shipments, providing fast delivery.

5. Delivery Coordination

Upon arrival at its destination, your motorcycle is either delivered to your specified location via our road shipping services or made available for pickup at a depot or port. We ensure compliance with all local customs and biosecurity regulations for a smooth release.

Why Import a Motorbike from the USA to Australia?

Importing a motorbike from the USA to Australia offers several advantages:

  • Larger Selection: Access a wider range of brands and models, including Harley-Davidson, Indian, and other iconic American motorcycles.
  • Zero Import Duty: Thanks to the Australia-United States Free Trade Agreement (AUSFTA), motorcycles manufactured in the USA are exempt from import duties.
  • Cost Savings: Motorcycles in the USA are often more affordable than similar models sold in Australia.
  • Exclusive Models: Some motorcycles are not readily available in the Australian market, making imports a great way to secure rare or unique bikes.

With MCC World International, we handle every step of the import process, ensuring your motorcycle arrives safely and complies with Australian regulations.

 

Do I Need a Permit to Import a Motorcycle into Australia?

Yes, a permit is required to import any motorcycle into Australia. This applies to all types, including:

  • Road Bikes: Motorcycles intended for use on public roads.
  • Off-Road Motorcycles: Dirt bikes, quad bikes, or other non-road vehicles.
  • Vintage or Classic Motorcycles: Bikes over 25 years old.
  • Racing or Rally Motorcycles: Bikes for competitive events or specialized use.

Without a permit, your motorcycle won’t clear customs or be released from the port.

Need help with the process? MCC World International can manage the permit application for you, making your import seamless and stress-free.
