Considering exporting your vehicle to Australia - have you checked for asbestos?

The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service has announced new rules relating to the import of motor vehicles when it comes to asbestos.
Asbestos is one of the many items strictly prohibited from import by the Australian Government, who deem the substance a threat to the country's biosecurity.
It is the sole responsibility of the vehicle's owner to make sure their import has had the necessary checks for asbestos and that any components found to contain it are completely replaced. Evidence must then be provided to your import broker and Australian Border Force officials that the checks have been made and any changes have taken place.
Failure to comply with this will result in a lengthy delay in releasing the vehicle, as well as heavy fines.
