Featured Replies

it all depends if you do it yourself or through an importer.

if its done through an importer the taxes and test should be included in the final price.

check out importers websites for possible duty and test costs as most show them

Hi Compton-Jay, remeber you only need to do the esva test if the car is less then 10 yeard old (1995+), and it cost about ยฃ500 plus your car will need to be standard (no body kits etc). If the car's more than 10 years old, all you need is an MOT.

Yes, have imported over 100 cars from Japan.

There is a very simple rule of thumb, whatever it cost in auction double it to get it on the road in the UK. Therefore:

If auction price is ยฃ3,000 then you need ยฃ500 Japanese transport & dereg, ยฃ650 roll on roll off shipping (more if in container). Then 10% duty on the ยฃ4150 so far ie ยฃ415, then 17.5% VAT on ยฃ4565 ie ยฃ799. Total ยฃ5365 to get to UK, then there are port fees and transport from the docs which are between ยฃ160 - ยฃ300 depending how far you are from the docks. If over 10 years old you need to convert speedo and put in rear fog light, get it MOTed and then pay for first registration fee. Bringing the total cost to approx ยฃ6000 for your ยฃ3000 purchase in Japan.

If the car is under 10 years old it can only go through an SVA if there are model reports available, they are not available for many cars.

if a 1991 300 tt i've seen in japan cost 2k then what will the final cost be?
