Due to post-Brexit restrictions to free movement, importing your car from Austria requires a little more paperwork than previously. We’d always recommend allowing that extra amount of time to allow for this.
My Car Import organises customs clearance for around 3000 cars a year, so we’re well versed in ensuring the whole process runs smoothly! We make sure that you’re not overpaying, and if you don’t need to pay, we’ll be certain that that remains the case!
When you let us take care of customs clearance for your vehicle, you’ll have no nasty surprises down the line, just a quick, seamless import from Austria to the UK.
If your car is being imported from Austria and less than ten years old, the vehicle will need to comply to UK-type approval. We can either do this via a process called mutual recognition or through IVA testing.
Bear in mind that each car is different, and every manufacturer has different support standards for assisting their clients through the import process.

There are two common methods for transporting a car between Austria and the UK:
Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) Shipping
With Ro-Ro shipping, the car is driven onto a specialised vessel at the port of origin (Austria) and driven off at the destination port in the UK. Ro-Ro shipping is typically faster and more cost-effective for transporting cars. The transit time for Ro-Ro shipping from Austria to the UK is usually around 2 to 5 days.
Container Shipping
Alternatively, the car can be transported inside a shipping container. The car is securely loaded into a container, and the container is then placed on a cargo ship. Container shipping may take a bit longer due to additional handling and processing time. The transit time for container shipping from Austria to the UK is typically around 5 to 10 days.
Please keep in mind that these transit times are rough estimates and can be influenced by various factors, including the shipping company’s schedule, specific shipping route, weather conditions, and customs clearance procedures.
