Clearing Cyprus Customs can be a lengthy and frustrating process,
which is why we employ a Clearing Agent to do it for you.
This means that you don't have to visit Limassol Customs at all!
So whoever you choose to supply your new car, tell them you want Stan to assist you in Cyprus. It won't cost you any more, in fact it could well work out cheaper, ask for a no-obligation quote and see for yourself.
(We act as import agents for most UK suppliers of new tax-free cars to British Forces in Cyprus, so shouldn't be a problem)
No need for you to visit Limassol Customs or the Tansport Office,
it's all done for you, and nothing for you to pay, either.
*Apart from €205 euros to the Transport Office Agent
who registers your car.
(To cover the cost of an MoT, registration and Cyprus plates, plus road tax as required).
UNFICYP
We are advised that British Forces attached to UNFICYP in Nicosia are currently excluded by the Cyprus Government from being able to register a duty-free car in Cyprus. This ruling is constantly being challenged, but there has been no progress so far that we are aware of.
