USAGE/FAQs
Please note: during the post-Brexit period, the UK and also EU countries are changing rules and procedures regularly, as solutions and problems are identified. The last big change was in October 2022 when certain customs and import forms were scrapped and replaced with an online Customs Declaration System. It is difficult for individuals and traders to be ahead of the game during these times. We provide free advice. You can get a quotation for your import - click here.

My vehicle has always been in the UK. Do I still need a NOVA clearance?
YES. You do. The DVLA requires that every unregistered vehicle in the UK that is to be registered must have a VAT clearance. A VAT clearance is also know as an hmrc NOVA CLEARANCE. To the DVLA, this is just a statement/certifciate that tells them there is no import tax outstanding on the vehicle. Even if it is 100 years old and/or been in the Uk for decades.
