JDM Importer for London

UK buyers ship into Southampton, RoRo from Auckland into one of Europe's great vehicle ports, ninety minutes from London. Right-hand drive from new means a New Zealand car slots straight into UK life once the DVLA paperwork clears.

Importify Cars is a New Zealand vehicle exporter. We source, verify and ship Japanese performance cars from the deepest JDM pool outside Japan to buyers across United Kingdom. New Zealand imported Japan's best for thirty years: Skyline GT-Rs, Supras, RX-7s, Evos and Type Rs with English-language ownership history, NZTA odometer records, and the option of a physical inspection before you commit, none of which a Japanese auction grade sheet gives you.

Importing to United Kingdom: what to know

  • New Zealand cars are right-hand drive from new, so there is no conversion, and UK registration via the DVLA (with a NOVA declaration) is well-trodden for JDM imports.
  • Vehicles over 30 years old in original specification typically qualify as historic imports with reduced (5%) import VAT and no duty.
  • Newer vehicles pay import duty plus 20% VAT on the landed value. Your customs agent confirms the exact treatment before the car ships.
  • English-language NZ ownership and service documentation ships with the car.
