Permanently importing a motorcycle into the UK (from outside the EU)
Hi Everyone
I am currently trying to get my New Zealand registered motorbike re-registered in the UK with the DVLA.
The DVLA have sent me a bundle of re-registration papers to complete. However, they will not even begin the process until they receive clearance from HMRC (Customs).
I am corresponding with HMRC (vehicle team import control) in Salford, who have emailed me a list of requirements, which includes: fully completed C88/E2 import entry paperwork.
Has anyone ever dealt with one of these C88/E2 forms, which at first view appears to be a dastardly difficult document to complete - e.g. loads of technical gobbledegook, sections and codes to enter?
Or
Alternatively appointed a customs agent to deal with the import process on their behalf. If so, were they any good (and how much did they charge)?
Note: Despite writing (posted letter) to HMRC 3½ weeks ago, on Feb-19th, they have only just emailed me back today, advising that I must get everything in order and submitted to them within the next 14 days, or they will close the case! Therefore I need to work fast on this one.
Thanks in advance
Keith
