It can be confusing on when you require a HVRAS.
So, here is the basic run down on all you need to know when it comes to HVRAS inspections.
HVRAS stands for Heavy Vehicle Regulation Assessment Scheme.
So what does that really mean?
It is a measure up and weight calculation of trailers and trucks before they are registered in Queensland.
You will need to take the HVRAS along with your Safety Certificate/Certificate of Inspection to register the vehicle.

Fully assembled imported trailers are required to have their HVRAS inspections completed by Queensland Transport and Main Roads.

If your VIN for instance starts with 6T9T and also has AAB in it then you are required to take that trailer for inspection.
