Understanding UK Vehicle Import Rules

HMRC NOVA System

Our comprehensive import service includes meticulous entry on the HMRC NOVA (Notification of Vehicle Arrival) system. This is a crucial step for all vehicles imported into the UK, and we handle it promptly after customs clearance to avoid any delays in your vehicle's registration process.

Navigating Complex Regulations

The rules for customs clearance of vehicles into the UK are multifaceted, varying based on factors like the car's age, original place of manufacture, vehicle type, and your ownership duration. We possess in-depth knowledge of these regulations and can advise on all types of vehicle imports, aiming to make the process completely straightforward for you.

HMRC Quote: A Reality Check

“Tax doesn’t have to be taxing,” is what HMRC say. Well, actually it can be, very taxing! Luckily, we can help. Using our simple online portal, we will have your car customs cleared and NOVA wrapped up in no time.

Flexible Service Options

Of course, if you are shipping your car with us, all of the above customs clearance and NOVA services are included in our comprehensive Car Shipping packages. However, if you have already arranged shipping with another provider, we are still more than happy to assist with your UK customs, IVA testing, and DVLA registration requirements. Our goal is to ensure your vehicle is UK road-legal, regardless of how it arrives.
