If you don’t live in Australia and are planning to temporarily import your bike, there are two options:

1. By making an application for TEMPORARY IMPORT SECURITY under section 162 of the Australian Customs Act. This requires lodgement of a security deposit equal to the duty value of the motorcycle. The security deposit is refunded when the motorcycle leaves Australia. The maximum time the motorcycle can remain in Australia is 12 months. These applications are best made through a customs broker. A Vehicle Import Approval (VIA) is required. There is a cost involved with VIA’s and a waiting period.
2. By using a CPD CARNET. A CPD carnet is an internationally recognised import document that guarantees payment of the import duty if the motorcycle remains in Australia longer than 12 months. A CPD carnet is organised at the person’s home country, generally through a motoring association. This method seems to be the easier one of the two. There is a cost and a bond is required for CPD Carnets. A Vehicle Import Approval (VIA) permit is not required if a carnet is used.
Detailed information about importing goods is available from the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service. Their website may be found at http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page4264.asp
