SBT Motors UK Ltd began trading during spring 2013. Since that time, we have opened another office and expanded our operations significantly. We are now one of leading exporter’s from the UK specialising in 4X4 vehicles. Here in the UK, we have access to high quality luxury 4X4’s, including all Land Rover, and Range Rover models, Toyota Land cruisers, and Honda CR-V’s, to name but a few.
We are also pleased to offer our customers a proxy auction service. Our global customers are able to view British vehicle auctions through our specialist software, and we purchase their vehicle of choice on their behalf. No other company in the UK is able to offer this service.

It is very important to know what import rules and regulations the destination country has. There may be restrictions on the age of the car, application for vehicle import approvals, restrictions on the steering wheel side, pre shipment inspection requirements etc. The staff at SBT motors are experts at exporting vehicles from the UK to Africa and beyond. We can take the stress away from you and work out the tricky stuff for you.

It is very important to know what sort of import tax you will pay when importing your car. In certain countries the tax that you will pay may be more than the value of the car. We strongly advise that you consider this before shipping, as we would not like for our customers to be hit with an extortionate bill. We will not be responsible for the taxes incurred at the destination country.

Customers sometimes do not ship via RoRo due to factors such as theft at their destination country, and instead opt for containerised shipment. Often the transit time between containerised shipments and RoRo shipments are quite different and so this should also be taken into account.

It is very important that you have a reputable clearing agent to assist you with the import procedures at the destination port. A good clearing agent can not only advise you on import regulations and expected import taxes, but they will be your representative on the ground liaising with the relevant authorities and clearing your car out of the port in the shortest time frame possible. As we regularly transport vehicles to Kenya and other East African countries, we already have a reputable clearing agent in place. Our clearing agent can deliver the vehicle from the port to your doorstep without any hassle!

It is very important to know the documentation required at the country of destination. Certain countries will accept the log book of the vehicle while others require a certificate of permanent export. When we have received full payment from you, we will dispatch the necessary documents to you, and notify the DVLA that the vehicle has left Britain.
