Importing new from EU

[Saucer]

Has anyone on here imported a MH from the EU since Brexit? My understanding is that VAT and import tax are payable on used vans, but only VAT on new. Also I believe that purchases in e.g. Belgium or Germany could benefit from VAT refunds from the country it was purchased in. I know that there are various hoops around satisfying UK registration standards, MPH on dash etc, but that doesn’t seem insurmountable. I’d be very interested in anyone who is considering it or (even better) done it since we left.

I can now report doing all the paperwork yourself is straight forward. I got my registration yesteray. It’s taken 5 weeks from landing in the UK to being fully complete and ready to go.

Did you have to submit an IVA form - Individual Vehicle Approval.

I am wondering if the Certificate of Conformity covers this, meaning IVA not required.

Yes you need to do an IVA - you send off copies of your CoC’s. You will have 2 or 3 depending on the van and they need all of them.

After a long wait Carthago got their homologation certificates from the German authorities, we are collecting our new C Tourer 143 next week, can't wait to get it UK registered and start enjoying it. We've a few upgrades planned ready for some long trips at the end of the summer

Hopefully not. They've given me some free nights in Austria, as a softener for waiting for them to resolve the homologation certs.
