The Law On Importing
 

 

 1. Can I collect the vehicle from the docks ??
 
Yes !!!!!!! Even though under Japanese rules, the Japanese number plates MUST be removed in Japan prior to the vehicle being exported, the vehicles can still be driven from point A to point B, point A being the UK Docks, point B being  your M.O.T/SVA preparation center (so book it in for these tests before you leave the docks. If you get stopped by the police, as does sometimes happen, as long as you have the documents given to you when you leave the docks then you will be OK. If however you get stopped coming out of Tescos after doing your monthly shopping, then yes you will have a problem !! The actual Road Traffic Act that this is covered by is the Vehicle Excise & Registration Act 1994 Section 42 (4), so if you do get stopped by the police just quote them this bit of legal knowledge and amaze them !!

If you want to double-check this, please ring the Dept of Transport 020 7944 2093


12. Registration ??
 
Once the vehicle has obtained its MOT/ESVA and you have valid insurance, you can now register the vehicle. To do this you will need the MOT and/or ESVA certificate, the de-registration supplied to you by the Japanese shipper, both the pink Japanese and the white English translation, and a form called a C & E 386. This is issued by H.M. Customs  to prove that you have legally imported the vehicle and have paid to the Crown the duties and Vat's liable upon importation. You cannot register the vehicle without the C & E 386 legally, if you do so the implications are vary severe and could involve you having a chat with H.M. Customs & Excise, your local friendly police, the vehicle registration office etc. and they will not want to chat about your holidays although, at the end of the chat they may offer you a few nights at one of Her Majesty's hotels !! If anyone offers to register your vehicle for you without these forms, do not be tempted, your vehicle will be registered illegally and will be seized. Your insurance would also be invalid which is another offense.
