Importing your Nissan to the United Kingdom

We have completed countless shipping journeys for customers from all over the world. There probably are not many countries we have not imported cars from.

Our team is made up of expert mechanics, experienced logistic management agents on every continent and many other experts in their fields to provide you with a seamless experience importing your car via sea freight.

We have recently upgraded facilities and have a unique relationship with the DVSA, which means we can conduct IVA testing on-site if required.

We are the only car importers in the country to have a private testing lane. DVSA inspectors come to us when your car is being tested. Alternatively, depending on the route to registration we can also MoT your car onsite.

Importing a Nissan car to the UK can be a great way to access a wider range of models and options, as well as potentially save money on the purchase price. At our company, we specialize in helping individuals and businesses import their Nissan cars to the UK, ensuring that all necessary steps are taken to comply with UK regulations.

When importing a Nissan car to the UK, there are several important factors to consider. The first is compliance with UK regulations, which includes paying import taxes and fees, and ensuring that the car meets UK safety and emissions standards. It is also necessary to have the car inspected and certified by the UK’s Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) to ensure that the car meets all of the safety and environmental standards required for use on UK roads.

To help ensure compliance with UK regulations, our company will assist with the following steps:

  1. Obtaining a Vehicle Import Approval (VIA) from the VCA. This is a mandatory requirement for all imported cars and verifies that the car meets all UK safety and environmental standards.
  2. Arranging for the payment of import taxes and fees, including Value Added Tax (VAT) and any other relevant taxes and duties.
  3. Assisting with the registration of the car with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) to obtain a UK registration number and license plates.
  4. Providing guidance on any additional requirements, such as modifying the car to meet UK standards or obtaining a certificate of conformity from the manufacturer.

One of the key benefits of importing a Nissan car to the UK is the wide range of models available. Nissan is a well-known and reputable automaker, known for producing high-quality and reliable cars. By importing a Nissan car, individuals and businesses have access to a wider range of models and options, including models that may not be available in the UK market.

Another benefit of importing a Nissan car to the UK is that it can often be more cost-effective than purchasing a similar car in the UK market. This is because the cost of cars in other countries may be lower than in the UK, and by importing a car, individuals and businesses can save money on the purchase price. Additionally, by importing a car directly from the manufacturer, individuals and businesses can often negotiate a better price than they would be able to if purchasing from a UK dealer.

Our company has years of experience in importing Nissan cars to the UK, and we have a team of experts who are fully trained and experienced in all aspects of the process. We understand the complexities of importing a car to the UK and are dedicated to making the process as simple and stress-free as possible for our clients.

In conclusion, if you’re considering importing a Nissan car to the UK, our company is here to help. We will guide you through the entire process, ensuring that all necessary steps are taken to comply with UK regulations and that your car is registered and compliant with UK standards. With our help, you can be sure that your imported Nissan car will be safe, reliable, and legal to drive on UK roads.

How much does it cost to import a Nissan to the UK?

Importing a Nissan or any other standard car to the United Kingdom can still involve several costs and considerations, although it is generally less complex and costly compared to importing high-end luxury or sports cars. The cost of importing a Nissan to the UK can vary based on various factors:

Purchase Price: The cost of the Nissan vehicle itself is a significant factor. Nissan models vary widely in price, so it depends on the specific model, its age, condition, and specifications.

Import Duties and Taxes: When importing a car to the UK from outside the European Union (EU) or the United Kingdom itself, you may need to pay import duties and Value Added Tax (VAT). The import duty rate can depend on factors like the car’s origin and value.

Shipping Costs: You’ll need to consider the cost of shipping the Nissan to the UK. Shipping costs can vary depending on the shipping method, distance, and other logistical factors.

Compliance with UK Regulations: Ensure that the Nissan you’re importing complies with UK regulations, including safety and emissions standards. You may need to make modifications or obtain certification to meet these standards.

Registration and Licensing: You’ll need to register and license the imported Nissan in the UK, which may include paying registration fees and obtaining UK license plates.

Insurance: The cost of insurance for a Nissan will depend on factors such as the car’s value, your driving history, and other considerations.

Additional Costs: Be aware of other expenses like customs brokerage fees, storage fees (if applicable), and any modifications or conversions necessary to make the car road-legal in the UK.

The costs associated with importing a standard Nissan to the UK are generally lower than importing luxury or sports cars, but they can still add up. It’s advisable to consult with a professional who specializes in vehicle importation or contact the UK’s Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) for specific information and guidance related to your particular situation. Additionally, keep in mind that regulations and costs may change over time, so it’s essential to stay updated with the latest information.
