Exporting to Cyprus

Cyprus is a European island nation that drives on the left and uses right-hand drive vehicles exclusively — making UK vehicles perfectly suited to the Cypriot market. As an EU member, Cyprus imports from the UK are subject to UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) terms.

UK Car Source exports vehicles to Cyprus regularly. Sea freight transit from the UK is one of the shortest of any export destination, typically arriving within 5–10 days. We manage all UK-side documentation, EU compliance and Limassol freight coordination.

Import Rules

Drive ConfigurationRight-hand drive required. Cyprus drives on the left.
Vehicle Age LimitEU emissions standards apply. Vehicles registered in EU/UK generally straightforward.
ConditionRoadworthy condition. Cyprus Road Transport Department inspection required.
Customs AuthorityCyprus Customs and Excise Department
Duty & VATAs an EU member, import duty (6.5% from UK post-Brexit) and Cyprus VAT (19%) applicable on CIF value. UK-origin vehicles benefit from UK-EU TCA preferential rates.
StandardsEU type approval (COC) required. UK vehicles with UKCA or EU type approval accepted.

Import regulations are subject to change. We recommend confirming current requirements with the relevant customs authority prior to shipment.
