REMINDER - TRAILER MANUFACTURERS and IMPORTERS

On July 1 2021 a 12-month transitional period began for implementation of the Road Vehicle Standards Act (RVSA) 2018 to replace the Motor Vehicle Standards Act 1989. This was extended by a further 12 months in mid-2022. The new RVSA is now fully implemented and in use from 1 July 2023.

The new regulations and standards will impact ALL manufacturers and importers of Low ATM Trailers (Trailers). This applies even if you import a boat with a trailer under it; you are now deemed the manufacturer of the trailer under the boat. If any of these scenarios describes part of your business, please read on with attention as the clock is ticking and there is a need to take action early to ensure compliance and the ability to continue to trade after 30 June 2023.
