Why Import the Daihatsu Atrai from Japan?

The Daihatsu Atrai has never been sold new in Australia. Importing a used example from Japan gives buyers access to a highly practical, fuel-efficient kei van at a price point well below equivalent locally available small vans, sourced through trusted Japanese auction sources.

Import Eligibility

The Daihatsu Atrai is eligible for import to Australia under the SEVS eligibility criteria, on the basis that it was never offered for sale as a new vehicle in Australia. Import eligibility is build specific, contact our team to confirm the exact model code and build year of the vehicle you are interested in before purchasing. You can also check our current list of eligible imports for current eligibility.

Import and Compliance Process

Importing a Daihatsu Atrai from Japan to Australia involves the following steps:

1. Eligibility check, confirm the specific model code and build year qualifies under SEVS.
2. Vehicle Import Approval (VIA), applied for through the ROVER system before the vehicle ships. See our full VIA walkthrough.
3. Purchase and shipping, sourced from Japanese auction or dealer, shipped via our shipping options guide.
4. Customs and quarantine, import duty and GST costs, and biosecurity clearance on arrival in Australia.
5. ADR compliance and modifications, assessed and certified by our compliance workshop in Campbellfield.
6. Registration, state registration requirements once a RAV entry approval is granted.

Estimated Landed Cost

A used Daihatsu Atrai purchased at Japanese auction for approximately ¥600,000–¥900,000 (AUD $6,000–$9,000) will typically land in Australia for AUD $16,000–$22,000 all in, including shipping, customs, GST, quarantine, compliance, and registration. See our full landed cost guide for a full breakdown, or contact our team for a detailed estimate based on your specific requirements.
