First the tax side, 14% import duty, then the vat which is put on top of import duty and shipping cost, this is worked out on the estimated value of the Jeep, you will then need a {COC} certificate of conformity before you can register the Jeep, everything you need to know about registration is on this link . http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/BuyingAndSellingAV...gAVehicle/DG_4022583
