Here’s your March 2025 update on import approval deadlines and newly available models. This March 2025 update also covers a key change to Discretionary Approvals you need to know about.
Please note, the government has decided to redact the ‘Discretionary Approvals’ from 31 March 2025. This means that you will need to apply for your VIA at least 30 days prior the SEVs Entry expiry date.
Please ensure that Import Approvals are applied for well before the expiry date.
