Your Customs Clearance Agent UK will advise you that before you can proceed with shipping a vehicle of this status, you must obtain the relevant export licence first. Your Customs Clearance Agent UK will explain you will need to obtain a Standard Individual Export Licence, which can take weeks to be approved, so it is import you apply for them in advance of your required shipping date.
Your Customs Clearance Agent UK will point you in the direction of the SPIRE export licencing system, where you will need to apply for the export licence.
