Importing from the US- Vital Information

What you should know before you buy.

We usually require a 40% deposit unless otherwise stated in a specific advert.

Shipping

Shipping to UK and EU ports averages around £1000 (It does vary depending on specific vehicles and where in the US it is being shipped from)
Delivery to the UK and EU usually takes around 5-9 weeks.
When a vehicle arrives at the UK port you usually have up to 1 week to pay the Import VAT and Import Duty (E386 or E388) before the vehicle is released from the port as after 1 week they will usually charge a daily holding fee.

Prior to registering the vehicle in the UK you will need:

  1. US Registration Documents
  2. US Bill of Sale
  3. Bill of Lading
  4. Proof of UK insurance for the Vehicle
  5. A completed V55/5 Form
  6. MOT certificate if the car is over 3 years old
  7. Cars that are up to 10 years old need proof of passing an SVA test

We are able to provide help and guidance with all of the above.

Each US import varies therefor its difficult to provide the exact prices for all of the above however if you find a vehicle that you are interested in, e-mail us the details below and we will get back to you with the estimated costs you will incur when buying a specific vehicle.
