Whether you would like to Import your Toyota vehicle or register your vehicle overseas, we have created some guidelines to show you just what you may need to do.
Importing and Exporting
Importing
Within Europe
Vehicles originating from another country within the European Economic Area.
Any vehicle being imported into the UK for a period of longer than six months must be registered with the Drivers Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).
The DVLA will require a Certificate of Conformity (COC). This can be provided by the national Toyota sales office within the country of origin. If no COC is available the vehicle is likely to require an Individual Vehicle Approval certificate.
Contact details for selected national Toyota offices can be found at www.toyota-europe.com
