It varies on the age and value of the vehicle

Under 10 years old and it will require an IVA test - this is an extremely thorough test which basically ensures the car is legal to drive in the UK. Lights will need to be modified to ensure there are amber indicators, separate from brake lights, side repeater indicators, side lights, headlights pointing correct direction etc.


It is not easy to rewire a modern car so make sure you obtain a quote from an experienced IVA engineer


Over 10 years old you will just need an MOT - this still requires a fair bit of rewiring on anything >1965


You will also have to pay import duties which are currently 10% of vehicle value (including shipping & insurance costs, duty is 22% for a truck) and then add VAT onto the cost of the car plus duty


The final stage is DVLA registration which for all cars is £195 per year (imports get classed as PLG and so not under new emissions based road tax scheme) plus £50 registration fee, trucks are less and classic vehicles are exempt


Shipping costs also vary depending on whether you ship RORO / containerised, we always choose to ship via container
