Trade questions, answered.

Can you help if we have already imported the vehicles?

Yes. You can use our preparation, testing and registration services for vehicles already in the UK. Tell us what has been completed, where the vehicles are and which documents you hold so we can agree the remaining work.

Do we have to book the whole service?

No. We can discuss individual services such as IVA preparation or registration paperwork, or coordinate several stages together. The scope depends on the vehicle and what your business already handles.

Can we discuss regular work or a batch of vehicles?

Yes. Send us the vehicle details, likely volumes and expected arrival dates. We will discuss the work, pricing and scheduling with you. Vehicle condition, parts, test appointments and registration processing all affect timing.

What should we send with a trade enquiry?

Include your company and contact details, the number of vehicles, makes, models, years, countries of origin and current locations. Let us know which services you need and whether you already have foreign registration documents, customs paperwork or an IVA application.

Let’s talk trade

What’s arriving next?
