Hi,
Ive imported a new R4 and as a my previous post mentions some time ago, it was 1989 manufactured but 1990 registered vehicle in Canada. The import agent has entered the paperwork as a 1990 as this was the registration date and I now have a 20% import duty to pay (a difference of nearly £900). I entered the year of manufacture as 1989 in the c384 and the bill of sale also states its 1989. I had a conversation with them stating that this might be an issue but it seems that they forgot. Does anyone know of the best way to resolve this so that I can pay the reduced rate of 5%. The shipper/ import agent isn't particularly helpful and keeps reiterating the title says 1990, to which I've replied, that is because it was registered in Canada in 1990 and a new title will be difficult to get. I only found out this afternoon so will call HMRC tomorrow but i don't have proof its a 1989 vehicle apart from a screenshot of a live chat with Renault along with the VIN number. Renault advise that it will take 6 weeks and £100 to get a Certificate of conformity but i don't know if have the time to wait 6 weeks, plus the warehouse charges £10 a day for car storage. Any information / advice would be gladly received!!
