Before importing a vehicle to your country, it is essential to check with your local customs authorities regarding any vehicle restrictions that may apply. These restrictions could include limitations based on the vehicle's year of manufacture, make, or specific manufacture date. It's important to clarify these regulations beforehand to ensure compliance and avoid potential complications during the importation process.

Regardless of whether you choose the RORO or Container shipping method, you must contact a clearing agent. You will be required to provide the following
  • Valid Bill of Sale
  • Valid registration document
  • Complete Customs paperwork
Customs papers will be sent to you for completion and submission to the agent. Once returned, these documents will be submitted to HM Revenue and Customs to arrange for payment of UK customs taxes.

The tax amount is paid directly to customs, and the agent fee is paid in full to the agent. Please note that fees payable at the destination vary depending on whether the car was shipped RORO or in a Container, and these fees are separate from the independent customs tax fee.
