strangeangel Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 At the back of my garage is a bike which has been imported from the US at some point. It couldn't have come from within the EU because they were never sold here. Back when I bought the machine in question it would just been a case of getting a dating certificate etc, but now, as I understand it, I am screwed without a NOVA certificate. The only paperwork I have for it is a receipt from the previous owner. So... is there some way I can get this thing registered and on the road? Or does its only future lie in whatever it's worth to someone in parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel bickle Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 If you don't hold a CE 386, I think it's reasonable to assume no tax has been paid. Possibly, a NOVA is the least of your problems strangeangel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Q Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 According to the thrilling VAT Information sheet 06/13: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/vat-information-sheet-0613-notification-of-vehicle-arrivals/vat-information-sheet-0613-notification-of-vehicle-arrivals When is a notification not required?A NOVA notification is not required for:...permanent imports from outside the EU made by private individuals or non-VAT registered businesses (Go to Note (ii) for further information) So it seems you may be OK for NOVA. However I don't know what evidence of import duty being paid might or might not be needed. Try ringing the Doovla, possibly make out you have just bought it in the UK without docs and see what they say. strangeangel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urko Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 The legal/licensing section on rodsnsods is good for this kind of stuff. strangeangel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strangeangel Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 Thanks for your thoughts chaps. Nigel - I'd never heard of C&E386 until you mentioned it, and a quick search found this: Non EU import information - bike registration (NOVA) (C&E386) which looks useful!

nigel bickle Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Yes. Then Nova it straight away. Use the CG address as last owner UltraWomble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New POD Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I would ask VOSA or DVLA I'm sure they have a free helpline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
