does anyone have any info on how the customs people work out the tax you have to pay when you bring a car or 4x4 from UK.

i think its based on glasses book value + age + weight + and engine size+ plus how they feel on the day

1.Go to the customs in Lefkosa by the Merc dealer with a copy of your log book(on by pass )
2. Ring or email Euromed green Lane London they will tell you how much to ship and the taxes
Taxes are based on the value of the cars value charged in sterling

There are 3 bands under 1600 and over 2000or2200
There is a higher charge for diesel
So a six year old Fiesta would cost a reasonable amount
A six year old diesel Discovery stupid money
All cars must be under 5 years old (check this)
Over 5 years old you must have had from new
Plus engine size and fuel charged in USD$
