Registering an imported vehicle from Japan can be a serious issue if you don’t know your process.

When you ship a car from abroad into the UK you need to know that before using the car you must register any vehicle you bring into the UK permanently. 

You cannot register an imported vehicle before you do all the following:

First you would need to tell HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) you imported the vehicle.

You will also need to clear the vehicle via a trusted import and customs clearance agents UK.

The custom clearance Agents UK will make sure you abide all import and customs entry when you import cars from Japan to UK and get confirmation that your NOVA application is processed and approved.

To be approved when you import a car from Japan to UK you will need to pay any VAT and duty based on what HMRC will calculate.

 Also, when you import a car from Japan to UK HMRC will ask you to get proof of vehicle approval and you will have to be ready with several documents and reason for import the vehicle to the UK.

Once you have passed HMRC gate payment and satisfy the requirements your Import Customs clearance Agent UK will be able to release you with a NOVA. 

This will be required to initiate the UK Vehicle Registrations. 

Depending on the age of the vehicle you will have to follow different process and tests to make sure you are obtaining correct approval.

Also, you will need to tax the vehicle when you register it with DVLA having satisfied all others import charges and Modifications required when you import cars from Japan to UK.
