What We Handle for You
We manage every step involved in importing a vehicle from Scotland to your destination country — including price negotiation, history verification (MOT, mileage, service records), collection, UK port delivery, customs documentation, VAT and export paperwork, and shipping coordination.
Whether you are importing for personal use, dealership resale, fleet expansion, or commercial transport units, our process ensures safe handling, accurate documentation, and on-time dispatch.
Our Vehicle Sourcing Process
Every import request begins with a clear understanding of the client’s needs — preferred brand, model, budget, mileage, and intended use. From there, Harvie Global Trade carries out an extensive search across verified UK platforms including approved dealerships, trade-only auctions, fleet sellers, and trusted private owners.
We compare multiple listings to guarantee value for money, checking service history, MOT validity, ownership records, and known manufacturer issues. Only vehicles that meet our quality benchmark are shortlisted and sent to clients for approval.
On-Site Inspection & Verification
Before any payment is made, we conduct a thorough physical inspection. This includes engine sound checks, dashboard diagnostics, tyre/brake condition, fluid levels, paint readings, and verification of VIN numbers. Clients receive real photos and videos — no stock images, no misleading descriptions.
When necessary, we arrange third-party mechanical checks for additional assurance.
Transparent Pricing & Negotiation
Our clients benefit from direct dealer pricing with no hidden mark-ups. We negotiate on your behalf to secure the best possible purchase price, factoring in shipping, port fees, documentation, and inland transport. Everything is communicated clearly before you commit.
Export Preparation & Documentation
Once a vehicle is purchased, we handle all export paperwork including V5C processing, export certificates, deregistration steps, port clearance, and customs documentation. Vehicles are then transported safely to major ports such as:
- • Port of Southampton (Ro-Ro + container shipping)
- • Port of Tilbury
- • Port of Liverpool
- • Grangemouth Port (closest to our location in Scotland)
At every stage, clients receive updates so they know exactly where the vehicle is in the export process.
Shipping & Delivery Options
Depending on your destination country and preferred timeline, we offer three main shipping methods:
- • Ro-Ro Shipping — ideal for single vehicles, fast and cost-effective
- • Container Shipping — secure option for high-value vehicles or multiple units
- • Consolidated Loading — economical solution for buyers receiving parts + vehicles together
Upon arrival at the destination port, we support clients with release procedures and final handover.
