hi can anybody please help we are moving over in 2007,we're trying to find out how much we will be charged for bringing a van & a motorcyle into the country ie customs charges the van is 11 year old & valued around £2000. sterling its engine is a 2.4 ltr diesel & the bike is a 12 year old honda cbr600 cc valued at approx £1500.sterling with a 599cc engine.all help would be much appreciated as when we've tried working out the costs it seems like a bit of mine-field

if you are moving from an EU country, and can prove that you have owned the vehicles there for over 6 months then you wont pay anything in duty...

Just registration fees...

The customs office will want proof that you lived, and worked in EU, so bank statements and proof of employment, then insurance certs to cover the 6 months, reg certificate V5, that should cover you well..

The customs office are a pain tho, but you should get it duty free if you have all the proof..

Wow, impressive, logging on as someone else and giving your business a push. Not bad, kind of see-through though.

thanks g man,(not sure about the rest of the posts though) we sort of guessed we wouldn't have to pay duty but its the registration that sounds very expensive i was hoping for somebody might know roughly how much in cy£'s all help is much appreciated
thanks mick

OK, if we have to aswer the question (we enjoy getting diverted here!)the van will be £350, dont know about the bike - but it will be negligable.

thanks for your help svetlana its much appreciated,we've been looking through all of the forums for answers & finally plucked up the courage to post a few questions,we were quite put off by some of the posts as their seems to be a lot of flaming & bashing going on in some of the forums & the registration & import tax seemed confusing to us, i'd also read that car insurance is quite expensive & road tax aswell
once again thanks alot all advice is appreciated
all the best mick
