Exporting cars to EU

Tom_Mr

Hello,
Would anyone know if there is any limit as to how many cars can be sent to EU monthly as an export by an individual/ self-employed person? Was told that it cannot be more than 5, however, cannot find any information on this.
If anyone would know where to look for such information would be much grateful for such an info

I would suggest you ask DVLA

To the same country, or to multiple?

As far as the UK's concerned, no limit at all. You just tell DVLA that they're being exported, assuming we're talking about used cars that are UK registered.

As far as the destination country's concerned, there may be or there may not be. Without knowing which of the other 27 EU countries we're talking about, nobody can give any clue at all.

This info may only last 6 months anyway, who knows after March.

Export process from the UK is the same whether the destination is EU or non-EU. It's the import process into one of the 27 that'll (probably) differ post-March.

No limits. That's what 'single market' means. For the moment.

Just be careful about the extra taxes you may have to pay in the country you are exporting to. France has an extra tax for new/nearly new cars as a friend found to their cost.
