When you are importing a vehicle to the UK, your Customs Clearance Agents UK will advise you that depending on the year of manufacture, engine commodity and the under which customs procedure they are being imported under in the UK, there will be import Taxes and Duties applicable for payment on the goods.
When your Customs Clearance Agents UK completes the import declaration for your vehicle, they will need the know the following information which will determine the Tax and Duty amounts applicable to the import of your vehicle.
- Value of the vehicle – as shown on the bill of sale
- Year of Manufacture – as per the registration document
- Engine size – also shown on the V5C
- Reason for import to the UK – E.g. TOR or vehicle sale
The above information will be submitted on your customs declaration by your Customs clearance agents UK. Once submitted, your Customs Clearance Agents UK will receive the lodged import declaration along with the VAT and Duty totals for payment to HMRC.
For example, if you had owned the vehicle for more than 12 months and were relocating on a TOR basis, your Customs Clearance Agents UK will need a copy of the TOR approval letter and will implement the reference number on the import declaration, which will mean you would be exempt from paying import taxes and duties in the UK.
You will then pay your Customs clearance agents UK, and they will make the payment to HMRC on your behalf, once the payment has been made to HMRC, the vehicle should clear customs and be released for collection. Your Customs Clearance Agents UK will advise you once the vehicle has cleared UK customs.
