Cyprus.

The route

The vehicle you purchase from Damianos Auto Exports ships from the UK to Limassol, typically arriving in 14–21 days. RoRo (drive-on, drive-off) and enclosed container options are discussed with your purchase.

For time-critical deliveries, we also run an express route: overland through Europe to Greece, then RoRo across to Cyprus — cutting transit to 10–14 days.

What it costs, honestly

Most exporters bury the numbers. We lead with them.

Import duty — often £0. Under the UK–EU trade agreement, vehicles built in the UK qualify for 0% import duty in Cyprus. That covers most British marques — Range Rover, Jaguar, Bentley, Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce, McLaren, Mini, Lotus. We verify origin eligibility for every car before you commit, and we provide the statement of origin that customs requires. Vehicles that don't qualify pay 10%.

Cyprus VAT — 19%, calculated on the customs value (the car, plus freight and insurance) plus any import duty.

UK VAT — never. Export sales are zero-rated. You pay tax once, in Cyprus — not twice.

Shipping — quoted per vehicle. Rates move with the shipping lines, so we quote each car individually — RoRo or enclosed container.

Moving to Cyprus?

If you're transferring your normal residence to Cyprus, you may be entitled to import one vehicle free of both duty and VAT — provided you've owned and used it for at least six months before the move and import it within 12 months of relocating. Resale restrictions apply after import; check the current official requirements. This is general guidance; we do not ship vehicles bought elsewhere.

Why a verified UK car

Cyprus drives on the left, so the island buys from two places: Japan and the UK. Wherever the car comes from, the difference is what you can verify.

A UK car comes with a checkable life: full MOT history, recorded mileage at every test, documented ownership — all of it verifiable through official UK records before you pay a deposit. The risk is any import bought blind — an untranslated sheet, an unverified grade, a seller you cannot hold to account. Verification is the difference, wherever the car comes from.

We only sell what we can prove. Every UK-sourced car is checked against official UK history records, documented and photographed — and everything we sell is backed by a UK company you can call, message, and hold to account.

An unverified import is a gamble. We sell certainty — UK-sourced cars verified against official UK records, and Japanese imports verified by translated auction sheet and export certificate.

The journey, tracked

What you need to know about importing to Cyprus.

Cyprus is an EU member state and one of our most active routes. It drives on the left, making UK right-hand drive vehicles immediately compatible. As the UK is now outside the EU, EU customs rules and Cypriot VAT apply, with 0% duty for UK-built vehicles with proof of origin. The process is well-established and straightforward.

Tax and registration details last checked 28 October 2026. Import regulations and duty rates change frequently. Always confirm current requirements with the destination country's customs authority before shipment. We confirm requirements for vehicles purchased from Damianos Auto Exports.
