tried google for "customs service australia"?

<www.customs.gov.au>
it's the dept that regulates imports

fob = Free on Board

there's a number of acts pertaining to importing (this is from the custom's service annual report):
Customs Act 1901
Customs Tariff Act 1995
Customs Tariff (Anti-Dumping) Act 1975
Trademarks Act 1995
Copyright Act 1995
Commerce (Trade Descriptions) Act 1905
Customs Depot Licensing Charges Act 1997
Customs (Tariff Concessions System Validations) Act 1989
Customs Undertakings (Penalties) Act 1981
Customs Securities (Penalties) Act 1981
Customs Tariff (Rate Alteration) Act 1988
Import Processing Charges Act 1997

could be a lot of reading to find the relevant act? Wink

some of the import car co's have info related to car imports on their web sites - search this site for "import cars"

hahah nark, only those asians in chinatown are the FOB's your talking about Very Happy

free on board

basically it means. FOB = the price of the vehicle ON BOARD the boat in japan/where-ever ready to sail away

my car was 435000 yen FOB - converter here > http://www.xe.com/ucc/

costs after that are:

shipping (RORO = roll on. roll of. around $1500 OR container shipping ($$$$$) )
customs (aus) (they fuck you good on this... TRUST me, 1900 for me)
compliance (cost me 1500 flat fee for my trueno)
rego (in nsw 570 for the comp 3rd party and 530 for rego on 12 months wih yellow standard plates)
and the other bits and bobs = $have 2000 spare for surprises

all info is here > http://www.jspec.com.au/files/general.html

so yeah. Smile
