Required Documents

  • Invoice(s): Your invoice(s) to prove to Customs how much you paid for it and shipping.
  • Deregistration Certificate: Required for Japanese imports by Customs.

For Vehicle Registration:

  • Completed VRT4 Form (provided at all VRO offices)
  • Purchasing Invoice
  • Deregistration or Export Certificate
  • Proof of payment of Duty
  • Laser Card, bank draft or personal cheque (for VRT payment)

For Licensing (also called Road Tax or Motor Tax):

  • Completed RF-100 Form
  • Current Certificate of Insurance issued in Ireland
  • Payment card (Laser, Visa, or MasterCard) to pay appropriate fee.

What Must Be Done

Importing vehicles into Ireland is a very simple process. Buying a car from Japan can be nearly as easy as buying a car from someone within Ireland. Knowing and doing what is required will save you time, money, and driving points.

Arrival

Once car arrives at port, you will be notified to pick up your car by an “Arrival Notice” sent to you. At the port, you must show your Bill of Lading, Invoice, and/or Deregistration Certificate to the shipper to confirm that you are the person to receive the vehicle. If necessary, you will need to pay any outstanding bills related to shipment at this time.

Next is getting it out of the port which requires you going through Customs (called the Revenue Commissioners). Getting your vehicle out of Customs is very easy and involves simply filling out a S.A.D. Declaration Form (which is used to prove Ownership and Car’s Value) and then paying Customs Duty and VAT.

Ownership

To obtain possession of the vehicle you must prove ownership of that vehicle. For Customs this means showing:

  • Purchasing Invoice to prove you paid for it.
  • Deregistration Certificate to prove you are its owner and it was allowed to be exported.
  • Picture ID to prove who you are.

In most cases, this should be enough for proof of ownership. Contact Revenues (Agency for Taxes and Customs) before shipment for the latest updates.

Paying Duty and VAT

The second half the Irish Revenue Commissioners require is the payment of Duty fees and VAT charges. Above in the “How Much It Will Cost” section is the rates involved.

Both Duty and VAT are calculated based on the total vehicle costs and it’s importation. That translates out to the CIF (Cost-Insurance-Freight) amount in shipping terms. If all these costs are listed on one Invoice, make sure they are listed as separate items. If they are on multiple Invoices, bring all relevant Invoices.

After completing everything required in the submission of the SAD Form, you should be given clearance. You are then free to transport your vehicle out the port’s premises.

Registration & Licensing

Registration

According to Irish law, any vehicle that is not temporarily in Ireland (i.e. belonging to visitors) must be registered at the Vehicle Registration Office (VRO) on the next working day following its arrival. For registration, there is a tax called VRT (Vehicle Registration Tax) that must be paid in order to be on the Registrar and receive vehicle registration plates.

All new or imported cars must be registered and have VRT paid to be owned legally. You may want to visit the VRT Calculator (external link) to get estimates on how much your car would be taxed for. Here are the step involved in registration:

  1. Go to your local VRO the next day after importing to pay the vehicle registration tax.
    1. Bring necessary documents as listed above in “Required Documents”.
    2. Fill in a VRT4 Form (external link – PDF), submit, and pay tax. VRO will perform a basic vehicle inspection.
    3. Receive receipt with a Irish registration number.
  2. Within 3 days, go to any dealership and buy registration plates with your Irish registration number.
  3. Additionally, you will receive a RF-100 Form for licensing.

Licensing

Licensing, also called motor tax or road tax, is for road maintenance paid at your Local Authority motor tax office. Through this office you apply for a road tax license which is necessary to get your “Vehicle Registration Certificate” from DEHLG (Department of Environment, Heritage, and Local Government).

Simply bring your documents and your payment card to pay the appropriate fee (both listed in above sections) to a motor tax office of the Local Authority. In return, your vehicle will be legal to drive within Ireland and you’ll receive:

  • Tax Disc for placement on vehicle.
  • Vehicle Registration Certificate (by post)

If done online at Motor Tax Online (external link), the Tax Disc and Vehicle Registration Certificate will be issued by post separately within 4 days. Upon receiving the Tax Disc, immediately place on it’s appropriate location.

Note: Tax Discs are issued in segments measured with whole months not days, so it is better to align your car registration early in the month.

Looking Ahead: NCTS Test

For cars less than four years of age, you are finished and ready to drive for now. If the car is four years or older, you must prepare for a test conducted by NCTS (National Car Testing Service).

The NCTS Test is a biennial (every two years) safety and emission test for cars older than four years. The test is required on the first anniversary of the vehicle’s first registration in its country of origin. This means if the car was (for the first time ever) registered in Japan in June, your next NCTS Test must be completed by the end of June. This test schedule has no relationship to motor tax or insurance expiry dates.

For the first time of testing, you may have the vehicle tested six months early and still keep the renewal date based on the anniversary date. Subsequent testing can be done three months in advance. If you do your test earlier you can be more prepared and avoid late fines.

To apply for test, take your Vehicle Registration Certificate and have the vehicle placed on the NCTS database. The next day, book a test for the vehicle by phoning the call centre at 1890 412 413. You vehicle can be inspected at whichever of the 43 NCT Centres throughout Ireland you choose.

The test is based on the EU Directive for safety and emissions standards for vehicles. Emission standards are based on the vehicle’s year of [first] registration and older cars won’t be tested at same level of modern cars.

Note: Special attention should be made to headlight alignment, exhaust emissions, and brakes performance.

Ireland Car Import

Shipping Ports in Ireland

Major shipping port in Ireland is Dublin. Cork is another important port.

Ireland is a Right-Hand Drive Country

In Ireland, driving is done on the left-hand side of the road with vehicles steering on the right hand side.

Inspection in Ireland

If the used vehicle entering in Ireland is 4 years old or more, then it should go through the National Car Test (NCT). This applies even if the vehicle has previously received any test abroad.

Required Documents for Import in Ireland

  • Original Certificate of Title and Registration
  • Original Commercial/Purchase Invoice – must show proof of paying tax on the vehicle
  • Irish Customs form 1076
  • Original vehicle document stating owner’s name, engine & chassis numbers

Used vehicle importer should complete a Declaration for Registration (Form VRT 4). If the imported vehicle is a motorcycle, then the importer should complete a Declaration for Registration (Form VRT 5).

After the VRT is paid and vehicle is registered by the Revenue Commissioners, then the owner will receive :-

  • A receipt for the VRT paid showing the registration number assigned to the car.
  • A Form RF 100, which is needed when applying for motor tax.

If one wants to drive a vehicle in public places, then motor insurance is required on the vehicle. Motor insurance is required on the vehicle before one can pay motor tax. Charges for motor tax are proportionate to the size of the vehicle engine.

Exemptions from paying Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) 

While registering motor vehicle for the first time in Ireland, VRT is required to be paid. However, exemption on VRT is also given. The following are exempted from paying VRT :-

  • Certain disabled drivers
  • Visitors to Ireland who have owned their vehicles abroad from more than six months and will reside in Ireland temporarily.
  • People moving permanently to Ireland and have owned their vehicles abroad for more than six months.
  • People posted to Ireland as part of the diplomatic corps.

In such cases, the importer is not allowed to sell the vehicle in Ireland for at least 12 months after it has been registered. If one is paying the required VAT, then is allowed to sell or disposed off the vehicle in Ireland once it has been registered. If the importer wants to dispose of the vehicle, then it must be deposited at an authorized treatment facility.

Duties and rates on vehicles in Ireland

Shipping: 700-900 Euros depending upon the size of the vehicle.

Customs: 10% of purchase cost of the vehicle and shipping.

VAT- 21% of purchase and shipping.

Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) is based on the Open Market Selling Price (OMSP) of the vehicle.

The OMSP depends on the market value, model, engine size, year, and roadworthiness condition of the vehicle. After the vehicle has been inspected the rate of VRT is calculated by Revenue. Since July 2008, VRT for cars is based on the level of CO2 emission from the car, not on the engine size of the car.

CO2 emission level VRT rates
Band A1 0-80 grams per kilometer 14% of OMSP (min. €280)
Band A2 81-100 grams per kilometer 15% of OMSP (min. €300)
Band A3 101-110 grams per kilometer 16% of OMSP (min. €320)
Band A4 111-120 grams per kilometer 17% of OMSP (min. €340)
Band B1 121-130 grams per kilometer 18% of OMSP (min. €360)
Band B2 131-140 grams per kilometer 19% of OMSP (min. €380)
Band C 141-155 grams per kilometer 23% of OMSP (min. €460)
Band D 156-170 grams per kilometer 27% of OMSP (min. €540)
Band E 171-190 grams per kilometer 30% of OMSP (min. €600)
