gazzaw Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Hi Graham If you do a search on the forum threads, re importing jeeps/vehicles, there is a lot of info on here. alternatively if you PM me I can send you details on how I did it, which was very easy and effortless Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeileen Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Just talking to my wife she says check over there about a tax for when it leaves their country, and normally the country you import to will not charge you because of the age of the vehicle, but thats at the discretion of the douanes/customs:) Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Warne Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Pre 1952 vehicles, upon arrival in the UK attract a flat rate of 5% of the invoice price paid AND shipping cost. So, if the invoice says you paid £1000 and shipping was £1000, you would pay 5% of £2000 = £100. It is essential that you get the original form 'C&E 386' from UK customs when you pay them as this is required for UK registration of vehicles imported from outside of the EU.

Jack Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I would also advise that you find out how the jeep is etc etc as there are a lot of jeeps out there put together with also sorts of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
