Do I need to pay duties or VAT when importing a car?
Yes — duties and VAT may apply depending on the car’s age, origin, and value. We calculate all charges upfront so you know exactly what to expect.
What documents are required?
You’ll typically need the commercial invoice, V5C/logbook (or proof of ownership), bill of lading/airway bill, and ID. We’ll advise if additional documents are required.
Can you help with NOVA for UK imports?
Yes — we assist with the Notification of Vehicle Arrival (NOVA) to ensure correct VAT processing and prevent DVLA delays.
Do you support classic or high-value cars?
Absolutely — we regularly handle luxury vehicles, classic cars, and collector imports that require precise classification and handling.
