Brexit-Period advisory notice 2021:

​

Following the UK's adoption of WTO rules on 01.01.2021, imports and exports from/to the UK are treated as third country transactions. This has led to the introduction of procedures and increased documentation requirements, regarding conformity to EU standards and country of origin.

 

You may be able to gain preferential import tax rates using certification of origin, under the EU returned goods, and also for vehciles that were manufactured in the UK.

What is a Eurocert ICOC for use in EU states?

The Eurocert ICOC (Independent Certificate of Conformity) is available for all vehicles, for various uses, derived from the Eurocert database of vehicle information. It is optimised for regional variations of language and registering authorities' procedures.

​

​

​

Can I save money by opting for an ICOC instead of a COC?

Sometimes the ICOC is a cheaper option. But it is almost always much faster than alternatives. Please be advised, as stated throughout the Eurocert websites and those of its partners, there are certain situations, in Ireland, for some vehicles, when an ICOC will not be accepted in place of an ECWVTA COC or the UK V5C. However, equally, quite often an ECWVTA COC will do no more than an ICOC.

​

​

​

What are the uses for an ICOC?

The Eurocert ICOC-ROI can be used to help in the process to register vehicles in Ireland and to declare emissions for calculations of import tax .

​

What is WLTP?

WLTP is the newest and most widely used and trusted Worldwide emissions standard. Some countries, such as Ireland and Malta, will allow preferential import tax and vehicle registration terms if you present the new (WLTP) emissions details for an imported vehicle, rather than the old (now untrusted) system.  

​

​
