Who arranges the shipping - Beck Evans or the buyer?

Beck Evans arranges shipping on your behalf using trusted logistics partners. You'll receive options (RoRo or container), and we handle the coordination all the way up to the point the vehicle leaves the UK.

Can Beck Evans recommend a customs agent in my country?

Yes, in many cases, we can connect you with experienced customs clearance agents in your destination country. These professionals will guide you through local import procedures and assist with registration, if necessary.

What if I want to use my own shipping or customs agent?

That's completely fine. While we offer end-to-end support, you're welcome to use your own preferred agents. We'll ensure all necessary documents and coordination are shared with your provider.

Who handles registration once the car arrives?

Registration is managed by you in your country of destination. However, your customs agent will usually be able to assist with this process, and Beck Evans can provide supporting documents if required.

What happens if there's a delay or issue at customs?

Your local customs agent is the best point of contact for resolving delays or documentation issues. Beck Evans will ensure that all UK-side paperwork is correct and ready to avoid any unnecessary hold-ups.
