Anyone imported from Australia?

Just wondered what the costs and pitfalls would be for importing a used/nearly new car from Australia? Guessing it wouldnt need much to pass an MOT/SVA seeing as they are RHD aswell?

Looked into this a while back.

I have a booklet at home on it from the UK, will see if I can dig it out.

I imported to Australia and costs I incurred were:

Container
GST (like VAT)
Customs Clearance
Quarantine inspection

Let me know if you want any help with the vehicle on this side. Happy to help if I can.
