thu187 Forums Junkie Location: Sydney Registered: September 2004	Re: 15 year import rule abolished! Tue, 08 February 2005 06:43 From my understanding: It's still pretty much the same. Quote: The Government is closing a loophole that has enabled mainstream cars over 15 years of age to be imported in commercial quantities, and not subjected to safety and emission certification. and again Quote: This new rule will reinstate a level playing field within the industry. Vehicles supplied to the same market will be subject to the same regulatory environment From my understanding this means the Government is saying cars newer than 15 years old will have to meet ADR (Australian Design Rules) and some other kind of criteria to be 'safe enough' for the Australian public. Big deal. More testing and stuff we gotta pass. It will be a bit more of a hassle. Under the new rule: Quote: Vehicles manufactured before 1 January 1989 may be imported without restriction. Vehicles built during 1989 (or later) will need to qualify under the Registered Automotive Workshop Scheme (RAWS) and will need to be certified as complying with Australian Design Rules (applicable at the date of manufacture). To qualify under RAWS, vehicle models must meet the specialist and enthusiast criteria. Isn't this basically what happened under the old rule? The Government is just making it harder (placing extra safety standards that they have to meet) for cars newer than 15 years old. [Report message to a moderator]
