Anyone imported a car from Japan recently?
Discussion
I was £300 approx duty on a car that was just under £5k.
I've got lots of examples, none are 10% but it's not the easiest to check accurately due to exchange rates at the time being different etc.
Of course approx £1k for Vat as well
I can't confirm the cost of my Cedric but it was only £120 duty. I think that was on a Japan shipped cost of £2300 or so

Cheers, are all the examples of cars that were built in Japan? Reason i ask is i read somewhere that the duty is less on these. I've got lots of examples, none are 10% but it's not the easiest to check accurately due to exchange rates at the time being different etc.

They were all JDM.
I cant see why it would matter being built somewhere else, as cars can be manufactured anywhere before being sold in whatever country you buy it from.
Id need to ask my shipping agent but I wonder if the duty is 10% but based only on the car price, not the total shipped price. That might be an explanation
