How nuch is it to import an American car in to the UK?
it is thought to be a complicated process, but money will solve the problem - as usual. Some basic information. The vehicle can be picked from the US location, delivered to the US port and shipped. If in a container, can be $5.000.00 to $6.000.00, if shipped as a Roll On Roll Off item, then about $1,500.00. (there is a risk of petty theft from the RORO system, so don't leave anything in the car!) Shipping Insurance may be about 1.5% of the value of the car, although some export companies may include this in their quotation.. You will have to pay 17.5% VAT and a customs duty of 10%. The handling fee for the UK agents of the shippers will make a charge as well, 40.00 or so. Dont fill up with cheap US petrol, a quarter tank is sufficient. This information is a guide only. Shop around and talk to people, research is the key to success .
Generally considered too expensive and uncertain for a single car - you may not be able legally to use the car in Britain even after spending lots of money. Buy in Britain.
