Importing

How do I import a car to the UK?

To import a car to the UK you either bring it in temporarily as a visitor, import it permanently with 10% duty and 20% VAT, or claim Transfer of Residence relief, which can remove both if you are moving here. Every import is notified to HMRC through NOVA within 14 days of arrival, then the car is approved and registered with the DVLA. From the USA, RORO sea freight starts at US$1,405 for a standard car and typically takes 2–3 weeks from the East Coast.

Temporary or permanent
Temporary: non-UK residents can use a car registered and taxed abroad for up to 6 months in any 12, free of duty and VAT. Permanent: 10% duty and 20% VAT, or no duty or VAT under Transfer of Residence relief if you qualify.
Documents
Original US title, free of any lien (or with a signed letter from the lender authorising export) (US export customs need it), bill of sale or value declaration, and your passport. In the UK: NOVA within 14 days, then an MOT or IVA test and DVLA registration on form V55/5.
Duty and tax
10% duty and 20% VAT on the value plus shipping; 0% duty for cars of UK or EU origin with proof; no duty and 5% VAT for qualifying historic vehicles over 30 years old.
Carnet
No. Visitors claim temporary admission on form C110 instead.
How long it takes
Typically 2–3 weeks at sea from the East Coast, longer from the West Coast. Book 4–8 weeks ahead.
What it costs
From US$1,405 (about £1,050) sea freight for a standard car, typically up to US$1,580, plus about £200–450 for UK clearance and any duty and VAT.

Entry rules

What are the rules for temporary entry, permanent import and transfer of residence in the UK?

Touring / Overlanding

Can I tour the UK and Europe in my own vehicle?

Bringing your RV, camper or 4x4 over for a few months on the road? You do not need to import it permanently. It enters the UK under temporary admission, with no duty or VAT.

Who qualifies

  • You live outside the UK
  • The vehicle is registered outside the UK
  • It is for your own use, not for sale or hire
  • It leaves the UK within 6 months in any 12-month period

What you need

  • Original US title, free of any lien (or with a signed letter from the lender authorising export) (needed for US export customs)
  • Proof of ownership, such as the bill of sale
  • Your passport
  • Insurance valid for UK roads, and for Europe if you go on

Insurance

You must be insured to drive in the UK. Frontier (third-party) cover for the UK and EU costs around €150 a month; comprehensive cover costs more. We also recommend travel insurance.

Going on to Europe

Mainland Europe has its own temporary import rules and time limits. Tell us your travel plans and we will advise before you book.

Shipping home

When your trip ends we can ship the vehicle back to the USA from the UK, or from mainland ports such as Antwerp, Bremerhaven and Zeebrugge.

Prices for shipping back: UK to the USA →

Moving to the UK

Can I take my vehicle when I move to the UK?

If the vehicle is staying in the UK for good, it is a permanent import. We can clear it through UK customs via our broker and arrange the NOVA (Notification of Vehicle Arrivals) so you can register it.

Transfer of Residence relief
If you have lived outside the UK for at least 12 months, owned the vehicle for at least 6 months and are moving here, you may pay no duty or VAT. Apply to HMRC on form ToR1 before it ships.
Standard import
10% import duty and 20% VAT on the vehicle value plus shipping.
Classic vehicles
At least 30 years old, no longer made, in original condition and of historic interest: no duty and 5% VAT.
UK clearance
Expect about £200–450 for clearance, plus any duty and VAT. HMRC must be told through NOVA within 14 days of arrival.
Registration
Left-hand-drive cars can be registered. You will usually need headlight and other changes to pass the MOT or IVA test (IVA for cars under 10 years old), then register with the DVLA on form V55/5.
Documents
Original US title, free of any lien (or with a signed letter from the lender authorising export) (US export customs need it), bill of sale or value declaration, and your passport.

Worked example: the landed cost of a US car

A car bought in the USA for £25,000 and shipped RORO from the East Coast. Duty is charged on the car, freight and insurance; VAT is charged on all of that plus the duty.

Standard importTransfer of ResidenceQualifying classic
Car value£25,000£25,000£25,000
Sea freight (about US$1,405)£1,050£1,050£1,050
Marine insurance£350£350£350
Customs value£26,400£26,400£26,400
Import duty10%: £2,640£0£0
Import VAT20%: £5,808£05%: £1,320
Total UK import tax£8,448£0£1,320

Illustration only. UK port charges and clearance (about £200–450) are extra, and HMRC sets the final figures from your import declaration. Transfer of Residence needs HMRC approval (ToR1) before the vehicle ships. A qualifying classic is at least 30 years old, no longer made, in original condition and of historic interest.

Questions about shipping from the USA

How much does it cost to ship a car from the USA to the UK?

RORO sea freight for a standard car costs from US$1,405 (about £1,050), typically up to US$1,580 (about £1,180), based on IVSS quotes in the last 90 days. A motorhome or RV is typically US$2,860–3,980. UK clearance, duty and VAT are extra.

Can I bring my American car or RV to the UK for a holiday?

Yes. If you live outside the UK and the vehicle is registered abroad, it can enter under temporary admission for up to 6 months in any 12, with no duty or VAT, as long as it is for your own use and leaves again. You need your title or registration, proof of ownership, your passport and insurance valid in the UK.

Will I pay import tax bringing a car from the USA to the UK?

Usually 10% import duty and 20% VAT on the vehicle's value plus shipping. For example, a £25,000 car with £1,400 of freight and insurance pays about £8,448 in duty and VAT. If you are moving to the UK and have owned and used the vehicle abroad, Transfer of Residence relief can remove both.

Does the US 25-year rule apply when importing to the UK?

No. The 25-year rule is a US import rule. In the UK, older vehicles can qualify for reduced 5% VAT as historic vehicles, and registration follows the UK rules for the vehicle's age.

How long does it take?

Typically 2–3 weeks at sea from the East Coast and the Gulf (Baltimore, Brunswick, Galveston). From the West Coast (Los Angeles: Long Beach or Port Hueneme) ships go via the Panama Canal and take longer; we quote the price and the next sailing on request. Allow a few days for UK clearance.

Can I register a left-hand-drive American car in the UK?

Yes. Left-hand-drive cars can be registered and driven in the UK, usually after headlight and other changes for the MOT or IVA test, then registration with the DVLA.

Can I ship an RV or motorhome?

Yes. Motorhomes and RVs go RORO; the price depends on their size and height, and taller vehicles may have fewer carrier options.

What documents do I need to export a vehicle from the USA?

US export customs need the original title (not a copy), free of any lien. If the vehicle is financed, the lender must either clear the lien or give a signed letter authorising export. The title must reach US Customs (CBP) at the port at least 72 hours before the vehicle is exported, so send it to us as soon as you book, with a copy of your passport and the bill of sale if you bought the vehicle recently.

How do I import a car to the UK?

Ship it, then tell HMRC through NOVA within 14 days of arrival and pay any duty and VAT, or claim Transfer of Residence relief before it is cleared. A car over 10 years old does not need vehicle approval but needs an MOT; a car under 10 years old from the USA needs an IVA test. Then register it with the DVLA on form V55/5. Customs clearance is through our broker, a local agent we introduce, or your own broker.

Can I import a car to the UK tax-free when I move here?

Yes, under Transfer of Residence relief, if you have lived outside the UK for at least 12 months and owned and used the car for at least 6 months. Apply to HMRC on form ToR1 before the car is cleared, and do not sell, lend or hire it for 12 months.

Do I need a carnet to bring a car to the UK?

No. Visitors claim temporary admission on form C110 instead, for up to 6 months in any 12, with the car registered and taxed in their home country.

How much does it cost to import a car from the USA to the UK?

Sea freight is from US$1,405 for a standard car by RORO, plus about £200–450 for UK clearance, then 10% duty and 20% VAT on the value plus shipping unless relief applies. A classic over 30 years old in original condition pays no duty and 5% VAT.

When are the next sailings from the USA?

Live schedules from the carriers we book with. Dates move; we confirm yours at booking.
