EXPORTING TO THE UNITED KINGDOM

  • Even though the UK drives on the right-hand-side, left-hand drive vehicles can also be legally driven on the roads.
  • Vehicles must conform with environmental and safety laws of the country. Some exceptions are permitted but will have to be approved first.

  • If said vehicle is over ten years old,  Drivers and License Agency in the United Kingdom must be informed beforehand for approval.

  • ​Before shipping off your vehicle, HM Revenue and Customs must be notified within 14 days of the vehicle’s arrival. An International Vehicle Approval will have to be conducted as well.

  • After arrival, owners must pay VAT, duty or tax on the vehicle before it’s released from the authorities. Once paid, vehicles must be registered and taxed.

  • Exporting a new car into GCC countries, the customer must pay a duty fee (5% of the value of the car in GCC countries).

  • If you’re exporting a car to Europe or any other part of the world not mentioned, check with the RTA and local authorities in the respected country beforehand.

SHIPPING METHODS

​

  • Sea : Cheapest option and preferred by most will be delivered to the nearest port of choice. Can be done via container or Roll On Roll Off (RoRo) ship.

  • Air : Vehicles are strapped down in order not to shuffle around while being flown to its destination. Safest and fastest way to do it, but most expensive.

  • Land : Recovery vehicles or trucks can move your vehicle from country to country if borders are easy to cross.

  • Shipping by sea or air, it’s best to get insurance for the vehicle incase of any problems.

  • If you choose to use a recovery vehicle for delivery, it’s mandatory to inform the RTA of which company you are using, and a representative of that company must be present at the border crossing.
