importing

Looking to take a UK-plated Defender 110 HS Dynamic to Spain for matriculation. I am a resident in Spain with British citizenship. I have been told this is not possible, but I have also been told I could get the vehicle registered in Ireland then over to Spain. What do you think?

I am importing a 1976 Honda Goldwing with 46,000 miles on the clock. It has been registered in Northen Ireland for ten years. Is there VAT to paid on it?

I'm looking at importing a car from Japan, 2020 BMW X3 20d '3DA-UZ20'. I managed to find the CO2 emissions on the MLIT page, but I cannot find the NOx emissions anywhere. Where can I get it, or what will be accepted by Revenue at the VRT?

How much does it cost to import a 2023 van into Ireland from the North with English plates?

Will customs and VAT be due on a year 2000 BMW? It was imported from GB to Northern Ireland in 2018 by NI dealer for his car collection. His purchase receipt from 2018 is present along with the transport/shipping documents. The V5C remained on a GB address as the dealer bought it and never sold it on. It never had an MOT in Northern Ireland as it was in a "car collection". Just wondering how this will work out regarding VAT and import duty.

Hi,

I was reading your piece on importing a car from Northern Ireland and I had a few questions:

If importing a GB-reg car that has been in use in Northern Ireland for a 'reasonable period of time' and I can show this by V5C and an MOT carried out in NI is that enough for Revenue in Ireland so that I don't have to pay customs or VAT?

In your piece you say that I must show "a copy of an invoice from a transport company identifying the vehicle and delivery date; tax and insurance details indicating use in Northern Ireland."

What if I can't get those documents from the dealer I purchase the car from?

I would be grateful for your advice.

Thanks

If I bring in a 2016 Citroen Berlingo van from Northern Ireland, how much will I pay to import it?

I've been looking at a car in Belfast that was originally a GB car bought by a dealer and brought over to Northern Ireland. Am I right in saying that if I import this car down south that the only taxes to be paid would be VRT and NOx emissions levy?

Hi,

I was wondering would it make any sense to import my first car from Japa?

 Thank you.

Hi,

I'm looking at importing an MGS6 EV from NI that was first registered in November 2025 and used as a dealership demonstrator model. It has 5,000 miles on the clock. Would this still be exempt from VAT and VRT in the Republic?

Thanks
