It doesn’t matter whether you’re into Fords, Holdens, or Buicks – it’s important to know that some imported vehicles may harbour asbestos.
The importation of asbestos in any quantity into Australia poses a health risk and is prohibited. The ABF enforces the prohibition of asbestos import in all goods, including passenger vehicles, trucks, plant equipment and motor cycles.
A person found unlawfully importing or exporting asbestos, or goods containing asbestos, may be subject to fines or prosecution.
