International Caravan Transport and Motorhome Relocation
Motorhome, RV and Caravan Shipping to or from Australia
Need to move caravans, motorhomes, campervans or RVs across borders? We can sort that for you. At Jacanna, we’re used to International Vehicle Shipping and whatever the size of the unit, we can ship it for you.
Whether you’re moving an entire fleet internationally, importing caravans for sale or want to bring in an RV for personal use, we can help you get your items from A to B with limited fuss. Many businesses underestimate how easy it is to get a caravan or motorhome into Australia, as the exact requirements depend on where it’s coming from.
We frequently move stock between the USA, UK, Asia and New Zealand so you’re in safe hands. We manage the entire process, from export compliance, biosecurity sign-off, carrier bookings, and customs clearance once it lands. We pride ourselves on dependable, hands-on support the whole way through, whether you’re a first-time importer or running a fleet.
Everything Involved in Bringing a Caravan or Motorhome into Australia
Whatever you need – motorhome shipping into Australia, campervans imported for resale, or bringing in your own motorhome for personal use – bringing vehicles into Australia involves a lot more than just reserving a spot on a ship.
Export documentation, biosecurity checks, and customs paperwork all need sorting before the unit even reaches port. And the process shifts depending on whether the shipment’s coming from New Zealand, the UK, the USA, or somewhere else entirely. Miss a step, and you’re looking at delays and extra admin.
Jacanna keeps the whole process in-house. One dedicated contact oversees your shipment from the initial booking right through to delivery, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Caravan and Motorhome Imports for Individuals and Businesses
Private Buyers and Dealers
Units from New Zealand, the UK, and the USA regularly find strong demand in the Australian market. We work with private buyers, auction purchasers, and dealers bringing stock in for resale alike.
Fleet Imports and Exports for Businesses
Businesses shipping on a recurring basis benefit from our direct carrier agreements – consistent scheduling and pricing that doesn’t swing with the spot market, whichever direction the units are moving. It’s a big part of why motorhome importers across Australia, from independent operators to larger dealer groups, keep choosing us.
Relocating to Australia
Bring your caravan from your home country, when you make the move to Australia yourself. We schedule the shipment to arrive at a time that works for you, so you have one less thing to worry about. Need caravan relocation in Australia? We can sort that too.
What Does It Cost to Bring a Caravan or Motorhome into Australia?
There’s no single figure for caravan transport costs to Australia – it comes down to a handful of variables:
- Size and weight of the caravan, motorhome, or campervan
- Departure country and port
- Port of arrival
- Choice of RoRo or container shipping
- Vessel availability and scheduling
- Carnet fee (if needed)
One way we help manage cost is by fitting more than one caravan into a single container. Our team is experienced at making the most of the space – wheels come off to lower the profile, and drawbars are removed where it makes sense, so two units can share a container safely. Once unpacked, our staff reassemble everything, ready to go to its final destination.

Yes – we handle imports from all three, including the biosecurity checks, paperwork, and customs clearance specific to each route.
The fundamentals – biosecurity clearance, correct paperwork, customs processing – stay the same across all three. Static caravans typically go by container rather than RoRo, given they’re not self-propelled.
RoRo works well for motorhomes and campervans that can drive themselves on and off, and tends to be the cheaper option when it’s on offer. Container shipping is the standard for static caravans and longer routes such as the UK or USA, and offers better protection for higher-value units.
Yes – we regularly work with dealers and fleet operators moving caravans and motorhomes both ways, backed by direct carrier agreements for consistent scheduling and pricing.
Yes – we manage exports as well as imports, so if you’re sending stock to New Zealand, the UK, or elsewhere, we can run that end to end too.
