Don Whatever you do, make sure you get the Federal Dept of Transport paperwork filled out so that you have permission to import it.
This MUST be done well BEFORE the trailer is shipped, otherwise the customs people will simply say "this vehicle is not approved for import into Australia", and you won't be able to get it out of customs or if you do, you won't be able to register it with your state dept of roads/transport (whatever they call it in WA !). Your only solution would then be to re- export it and get the paperwork sorted out, which is messy, time consuming and expensive.
