LoA
1st Dec 2008
Contact manufacturer in UK or overseas if imported vehicle
Phoned Toyota UK, not Toyota Motor UK
0845 275 5555
Got hold of Peter Jackson in charge of Imports/exports for Toyota GB
He only works on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
2nd Dec 2008
He called me back on Tuesday 2nd December and requested my vehicle registration number
Read the following:
The car was manufactured (1992) before Toyota UK started producing Certificates of Conformity(1995). He can provide a Letter of Compliance, but I have to confirm with the SABS that they will accept this certificate. (See attachment for documents needed)
I then contacted Paul at SABS asking for the LoA application, but his out-of-office referred me to Charlotte Makou MAKOUCK@nrcs.org.za
3rd Dec 2008
Charlotte promptly replied with therequired documents attached .
Please note that the NRCS now handles LoA's.
Website: Nrcs - Home
Vehicles need different documentation depending on which year they were manufactured. I'll update in a while with the relevant attachment discussing these items.
Next will be the actual import permit... to follow...
