Where to get NOx data for a Japanese VW T-Roc?
I am working on importing a car from Japan. I'm looking at a 2022 Volkswagen T-Roc 2.0 diesel. Code is 3DA-A1DFF. The exact car code (3DA-A1DFF) shows up on a VRT check on ROS, therefore someone has previously imported one from Japan.
Where can I get NOx data as this figure would be crucial when importing a diesel T-Roc? I am finding it difficult to get NOx data for this model from the Japanese MLIT website. Will Volkswagen Europe provide this information for me, and will this be acceptable for VRT purposes?
I look forward to hearing from you.

I am currently looking to move to the UK and bring my car with me. I was wondering if I would be able to get a rough estimate on how much it would cost to change my car from Irish plates to UK plates?
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind regards,

Do I need a Single Administrative Document for importing?
Ever hear of anyone needing SAD (Single Administrative Document) for the VRT centre when you arrive with the car to prove taxes paid to be exempt from VAT and import duty? It's a 242 Honda CR-V from the UK, shipped under the Windsor framework via NI and have HMRC Supplementary Declaration and the V5C.

Will I owe VAT on this motor home if I import it?
Hi,
I bought a motor home in Northern Ireland that has been used there for the previous five years. It did not leave the State, but the owner transferred the v5c document to his GB address. When I VRT it now in Ireland will I be liable to pay VAT as it's technically back in the GB?
