How nuch is it to import an American car in to the UK?

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.
