The importation of a vehicle from the UK is now treated as an import from a non-European Union (EU) country. When importing a vehicle you will now be required to (i) Complete a customs declaration, (ii)Pay or account for customs duty, if applicable, (iii)Pay VAT at 23%, (iv)Pay VRT. You are required to complete a customs declaration and clear customs when your vehicle enters the state from outside the EU. If you do not have a customs declaration and are stopped by customs at the port when you arrive in Ireland, customs may prevent the vehicle from leaving the port until a customs declaration is completed and the vehicle has cleared customs.All vehicles imported from outside the EU require a customs declaration. At Independent Customs & Logistics we have completed customs declarations for cars, vans, trucks, HGVs, tractors, motorcycles, caravans, camper vans, classic vehicles, boats and other goods. As part of the customs declaration process you may be required to pay customs duty. This is generally determined based on the country of origin of the vehicle and the type of vehicle. Vehicle origin typically means where the vehicle was manufactured not where you are importing the vehicle from. UK-origin cars imported from the UK are subject to 0% customs duty. EU (e.g. German manufactured vehicles) origin cars imported from the UK are subject to 10% customs duty.Contact us today if you need our help clearing customs
