Car import requirements checklist
Check the actual vehicle against current local requirements before placing an order. This checklist does not certify that a model can be imported into a particular country.
Importer and vehicle eligibility
Identify the importer and check the vehicle type, steering side and production or registration dates. Confirm how vehicle age is calculated under local import rules.
Required approvals and documents
Ask the relevant local authority or advisor which approvals, inspections and vehicle records are required. Confirm which documents the exporter can provide for the vehicle.
Plan for local use and delivery
Import costs and receiving arrangements
Clarify clearance, taxes, port handling, registration and onward transport. Name the receiving party and record which costs are outside the offer.
Check current local requirements
Consult current information from the relevant customs, transport or vehicle authority, along with a qualified local advisor.
Ask the supplier to confirm the vehicle details and available export documents. The importer should check import eligibility, tax and registration requirements.
