At Motozride Travel and Export, we frequently assist clients with transporting motorcycles, scooters, cars, and other vehicles from India to destinations such as the UK, USA, and Japan. Because exporting vehicles from India is a complex process, we have compiled the following essential information to help you navigate the requirements.Costs and Logistics
Shipping a vehicle from India is a significant investment. Depending on the level of assistance required, total costs can exceed 1,000 USD. While the freight aspect is straightforward, the documentation is intricate. Key considerations include: - Logistics: You must determine who will be responsible for packing, transporting the vehicle to the shipping warehouse, and loading it for delivery.
- Documentation: A police report for the vehicle is required prior to shipment.
- Exporter Status: The shipper must have an IEC exporter number. If they do not, our agent can facilitate this for an additional fee, or you may designate a representative to handle the paperwork.UK Import Regulations - Classification: We must verify the vehicle's age to determine if it qualifies as a classic vehicle.
- Taxes: All imports, including personal vehicles not intended for resale, may incur Duty and VAT based on the vehicle’s value.
- Compliance: All vehicles must be registered with the UK NOVA system and pass a SUPER MOT to be legally operated on UK roads. Please note that Motozride Travel and Export does not handle NOVA registration or SUPER MOT; these are the importer's responsibility.
- Delivery: Unless otherwise requested, the importer is responsible for unloading the vehicle from the delivery truck.Payment and Supplier Guidance - Verification: Do not remit payment until you have verified evidence of the vehicle.
- Terms: We recommend paying a deposit followed by the remaining balance only upon receipt of the shipping documents.
- Export Eligibility: Ensure the supplier has experience with exporting. If purchasing a new vehicle, confirm the dealership is legally authorized to export it.Many shipping challenges arise when buyers do not account for logistics or engage with unauthorized shippers. If you are considering a purchase or already own a vehicle, please contact us with the vehicle details, the specific town in India, and your nearest delivery location. We would be happy to provide you with a shipping quote.
