Importing a Truck From the US?
I am looking to import an old truck from the US. Does anyone have an idea of cost and a company that I can use to do this?
Thanks

It's an old chevy/GMC. I agreed a deal in the UK, but got guzzumped
So I am looking in the US, I want something original as opposed to 'pimped'
Not had much luck importing to France as they seem heavier in taxes so I am willing to pick up from UK

I looked into importing a £5000 ($8000) etype a while ago, was quoted £1200 shipping, plus import duties, plus admin fees, plus onward shipping etc,
total was approaching £4000.

sounds about right on the shipping cost. my dad shipped a ford aerostar in 1989 i think, was about £500 then i think.

Someone my dad works with imported his car from saudi, he payed about £7,000 in transport and taxes and registering.
If you import it into the UK would you not have to pay more tax when you got it to France? I don't know how it all works but I know you have to
pay VAT if you buy a new car in Europe and bring it back to the UK.
