Importing a Toyota Land Cruiser to the United Kingdom

One of the most popular imports we seem to deal with is the Land Cruiser – it’s just such an amazing car that seems to be hard to part with.

We have dealt with modified land cruisers fitted for 1000 mile journeys in the most baron of locations. And if you didn’t already know, it can be a bit of a minefield getting your Land Cruiser registered here depending on the medications (especially if you require an IVA test).

As such we recommend getting in test so that we can talk about the Land Cruiser in question to give you a good idea of what will be required to import it.

Our ethos is to take care of everything on your behalf.

We manage the entire process from collecting the car to arranging delivery after registration.

You might have to supply us with some documentation to help us to clear your Land Cruiser through customs but generally speaking – there is no dealing with government officials, or shipping agents.

So don’t hesitate to get in touch!

If you exported a car from the UK and are now returning with it, you may be able to import the car back into the UK tax free, as long as you can provide a UK purchase invoice when you acquired the car, along with a copy of your former UK V5C logbook.
