UK to Europe: Customs Duties and Taxes

Here we have attempted to simplify the requirement associated with transporting your vehicle. We base our pricing on transport of your vehicle by our fully enclosed motorcycle van door to door.

There is no VAT on the movement of vehicles to Europe since the 1st of January 2021.

Important Customs Duties & Taxes (European Charges) information:

Age of Vehicle	VAT amount payable	Duty Due on Importing to EU
Vehicles Under Thirty Years Old	21% VAT	6% Duty
Vehicles of Thirty Years Old and Over	9% VAT	N/A (no duty)

⭐️ Nota Bene: For very high value historic bikes of 30 years and over, we can offer customs clearance through Belgium where import VAT would be 6% and no duty. There would be an additional charge of EUR 300

Vehicles From UK to Europe

We will aim to keep this page up to date with the latest import / export information on processes, costs and how we manage your transport. Check back for any updates.

We understand that navigating all these costs and conditions can be confusing so we're here to help. Please don't hesitate to contact us:

We have a new system whereby you will receive immediate email notification of both collection and delivery. This will provide you with instant access to the condition reports, condition photos and to see the items collected with your bike.

Please Note;

Transport pricing includes, collection, UK export customs clearance, EU import customs clearance and onward delivery to your EU address.
Providing your motorcycle is being permanently imported into the EU, any import taxes, use of deferment, storages and additional disbursements are excluded and will be charged to you prior to delivery.
EU Tourist Import Clearances will incur additional charges
Use of Deferment for permanent imports is charged separately at 3% (Minimum of GBP 50.00) for any duty/VAT outlay
We can offer this price based on a shared route with other bookings. Collection and delivery dates will be confirmed when we have scheduled the routing for the respective areas. Please request separate pricing if a dedicated route for your booking is required.
Your vehicle will be covered on our liability for loss or damage during transit.

Hi Ron, I’m very happy with the Moto Guzzi thanks and very happy with the service as always. Nice meeting Peter, really nice guy and very helpful. This is the fourth time I’ve used Moving Motorcycles and wouldn’t dream of using anyone else for transporting my bikes.
Chris Giudice

Stumbled across Ron’s website when I needed bike moving on very short notice, and having had less than enthusiastic responses from other companies. Not so Ron, who went out of his way to make a slot for an early pick and delivery on Saturday morning, 24 hours after first contacting him. Brilliant service and a really decent guy to deal with. Would definitely use again and recommend to anyone wanting to move their bike from A to B without the hassle of doing it yourself. Thanks again Ron.

I was most impressed with the service that Ron provided. He managed to fit in a dedicated run at short notice to get my ‘new’ (1969) Triumph from Eastbourne to Burgess Hill very promptly. I would recommend them any time!
Brian Goodhew

Great service, fast delivery, would certainly use again, delivered from Reading to Newcastle hassle free with great communication.
Mark Livingstone

I picked your company out because of a very professional Website. The service I received was first class, extremely prompt, very good value for money and communication was second to none. It matched your Website. I would use this company every time.
Chris Knight

Hi Ron, Just wanted to say thank you for your great service. Kind Regards.
Darren

Brilliant service will use again great company and employees thanks.
Craig Heilbronn

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Ron! Arranged the motorcycle transport for me at last minutes notice, Ron was very helpful and dealt with transport no fuss at all! I’d highly recommend to friends and family. Thanks again!

Many thanks to Ron, Stuart and the rest of the team, you got my beloved KTM 950 Adventure chassis up to Maidstone Motoliner and back again with ease and at a very reasonable price, took the headache completely out of the equation! I will be singing your names to anyone who requires a motorcycle transport company, great communication and a team that really know what they are doing. Now let the rebuild begin!
Adam Hawkins

Absolutely top notch, this was the second time I have used Moving Motorcycles. I had to ring Ron several times in order to finalise a collection that would fit in with the seller I was buying the bike from and Ron was brilliant. Both John and Stuart finished up sorting out delivery to me. Stuart delivered bang on time and the bike was in mint condition. Cannot recommend Moving Motorcycles enough. 5 stars. Thanks!
