importing

Good day,

I am planning to import a 1966 Ford Mustang from the USA into Ireland. I understand that I would pay a VRT fee based on the emissions of the vehicle, which, according to what I have read, would be 36% of the OMSP value. However, where can I find the market value? Is there any other important fee that I should assume within the import process? I appreciate very much your guidance on this matter as there is very little info regarding this matter.

Thank you,

The UK car I want to buy does not have UK road tax and the dealer says I need to buy it to drive on UK roads to get up to Holyhead. You can only buy UK road tax for a minimum of six months, do I need to get it if only driving there for a day?

Can I buy a Volkswagen Grand California camper van and ship to the USA?

Hi,

I'm hoping you might be able to answer my question, please. I plan to purchase a small van from Northern Ireland and import it into the Republic. What charges will I incur when importing this vehicle? I am hoping to buy a Berlingo/Partner. Is there still a flat rate of €200 VRT or do I have to pay VAT in the ROI as well? I am not registered for VAT. Does VAT apply to new vehicles only?

Sorry, I know that was more than one question.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

Can you import a new Tesla Model 3 from the UK to ROI?

Post Brexit 1/11/19, if I am importing a used car from the UK, which I assume is now out of Europe, VRT will of course still apply, but is there going to be VAT and Customs duty applied? For example if I bought a mobile phone from Europe at 100 Euro no problem as it's a member state so no other taxes. If I bought the same phone in Singapore delivered to Ireland it would be subject to customs checks duty etc.

I have a car in the UK and have paid 18 months of the finance off. There is still 18 months left. I want to import it to Ireland and register it here as I now live here. I do not intend to sell it. Is this possible when there is still finance outstanding?

Do you know or offer the service to export a left-hand-drive VW California camper to the US? I have heard via the rumourmill that it may be possible to do this if it is the camper model and classified and US titled as an ‘RV’.

Thank you,

Steve

If I was to import a car from the UK and it was a 2007 Ford Galaxy with the OMSP of €2,928 with mileage of 72,360 leading to a rate of VRT at 28% making that VRT payable at €819, how would I go about finding the total cost of registering the vehicle in Ireland?

I am moving to Ireland from the UK, and I have a Kia Sportage GT line that I have owned since 1st of April - it has done just over 9,000 miles. Would I be exempt from paying VRT and VAT?
