It is mandatory to ensure that the vehicles adheres to specified regulations, like the Road Vehicle Lighting Regulations 1989 and the Road Vehicle Regulations 1986. In case, you are planning to import your vehicle permanently, your car must meet the present safety, emission and environmental regulations. You can do it with the help of Individual Vehicle Approval Scheme. As with any import, you are required to clear the VAT and import duties before the vehicle can be driven around in the city legally. But there are various eligibility criteria for tax exemptions on the vehicles which are:

  • Settling permanently in London.
  • You are part of the non-European Union member and are not likely to stay for more than six months, also termed as temporary admission.

Payment of taxes.

In case, you are not eligible for exemption on the taxes, then you are required by law to pay your taxes, duties and VAT after your car arrives in the UK. You have to notify the services of HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and ensure that your vehicle completes the form of ‘Notification of Vehicle Arrivals’ online. After this procedure is has been done, you will be asked to pay the complete VAT as applicable. If VAT is not paid, penalties are liable to be applied. However, to legalize the procedure, you need to submit the relevant documents including:

  • Lien-free car title deed.
  • Car insurance.
  • Purchase invoice of vehicle.
  • Bill of Lading.
  • Ownership proof.
  • Inspection certificates for emission and road safety.

Before importing your vehicle, it is mandatory to get the ‘Vehicle Import Pack’ so you will need to contact the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency. There are some restrictions, which are placed on any vehicle of over ten years. Thus, if you are importing an older vehicle, clarify if it can be imported. Contact an agent from DVLA before planning to ship any vehicle of this age.

You have the option of shipping your vehicle by container shipping or RORO. Based on the requirement, A1 Auto Transport service will be able to advice you on the best method.

Upon arrival it is best to promptly register your vehicle. You may be required to convey the vehicle directly from the port to London as driving a vehicle that has not been registered is prohibited. Throughout the transit procedures it is vital to have the original and a copy of all documents on hand. You will be required to submit copies when registering your vehicle. For more information on importing vehicles from the United States contact the United Kingdom Embassy.

There are a lot of options for auto transport these days, which surprisingly makes it harder to find a good company. I received more than 10 offers to ship my car, but I couldn’t decide on any of them... Fortunately, I made the right choice with A1 Auto Transport.
