One for Ron Fenton maybe
I have brought three cars into the country over the years. Latest is due to land on Sunday.
Had an email from HMRC for a EORI number. Haven't had to do this before, from what I can work out ,it's for company's importing goods, not a personal import.
EORI is Economic Operaters Registration Information
Any thoughts. Have my shippers cocked up?

Sorted, new legislation. New HMRC hoop to jump through.

Ive noticed that everything is being tightened up. Im having a game registering my New Yorker now that its MOTd. They want the original bill of sale and title. I have explained that HMRC took these on import and wont return them but the photocopies I kept wont suffice. They want more proof that I actually imported the car (shipping docs etc) and they wont accept the proof that I have given that its a 1972 model. I decoded the VIN and fender tag for them and sent photos of everything but not enough. Matt is on the case for me thankfully. Seemed much easier when I was registering my old Fury :scratch: :scratch:

The EORI is for company's who import and export goods . It also applies now to those who import a vehicle as a personal import and wish to apply for the lower 5% BTI import duty.
Mine was sent in and rejected late on Friday, by an over zealous HMRC clerk. A new application was submitted on Monday and a EORI number was issued. This number is now mine if I want to import again.

Think this is a tightening up to combat those who import a container full of farm fresh ( scrap) 50s trucks and the like 2 or 3 times a year. Pay a $ 1000 dollars for them, then have them on eBay a week after clearance for £ 6995, " Great patina, free tax MOT excempt"..!

Will have a paper trail from original sale, US customs, shipping details ,HMRC, EORI, Nova, MOT for DVLA to make there mind up on registering it.
