Food Truck Trailers
Food truck trailers are becoming increasingly popular, especially among young
people. They offer a unique and convenient way to get food, and they can be found
in many different locations.
Food truck trailers usually have a kitchen area, where the food is prepared, and a
dining area, where customers can eat.
Custom Food Trucks
Custom food trucks are specially designed vehicles that are used for the purpose of
cooking and selling food. There are a number of customisations that can be made
to food trucks and in order to import a custom food truck into Australia, it must
meet a number of requirements set by various Australian Government
departments.
These requirements include having an import permit before arrival. When
purchasing a custom food truck, it is important to ensure that all of the required
approvals and permits are obtained before starting with the purchase.
Small Food Trailers
Small food trailers are a great way to get started in the food business. They’re
relatively inexpensive to purchase, and they’re easy to operate and maintain, which makes them an ideal option for small businesses.
One of the great things about small food trailers is that they’re highly mobile. This means that you can take your business where the customers are, whether that’s at a farmers market, a music festival or even just a busy intersection; and because they’re small, you can set up and take down your operation quickly and easily,
which is ideal for busy events.
If you’re thinking of starting a small food business, a small food trailer is definitely worth considering. With its low cost and high mobility, it's the perfect way to get started in the food business.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Importing Food Trucks
Can I import food trailers into Australia?
Most food trailers can be imported to Australia. As food trailers quite often include
fridges, timber components and are to be driven on the road; there are a lot of
requirements that need to be met to have the food trailer processed through the
Australian Border Force and Department Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.
What food trucks cannot be brought into Australia?
If you do not have an import permit before the food truck arrives in Australia, you
will incur at least 30 days of storage at the sea freight depot or wharf [as it takes at
least 30 business days to receive the import permit]. Any food truck that has
asbestos parts [such as brake pads are prohibited].
What do you need to import food truck trailers?
The very first step in the process of purchasing a food truck trailer is to apply for
the import permit. Once you have the import permit the goods can then be shipped
to Australia [after we have reviewed all of the import paperwork].
