The American Import Agents Association was formed over 10 years ago to protect your interests and to ensure that relevant UK Government regulations and proposals were favourable to those who own - or wish to own - an American vehicle industry in the UK. 

When the SVA scheme was first proposed in the UK, the regulations contained within it could have prohibited the importation of nearly all models of American vehicles. The American Import Agents Association campaigned at European level and eventually were successful in ensuring that  relevant American FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards) were recognised within the SVA scheme. 

The AIAA continue to campaign against unnecessary "red-tape" and unfair rules and regulations that would be detrimental to owners or those wishing to own  American cars in the UK. 

This is an ongoing process!

 

American Import Agents Association

FOUNDER MEMBERS


 

All AIAA members have at least 15 years experience and adhere to the following CODE OF PRACTICE :


DON'T GET CAUGHT WITH A STOLEN IMPORT !

Each year there are many vehicles stolen in America that end up for sale in the UK. If you're buying an import make sure it's not one of them. AIAA members can offer a unique Certificate of Authenticity which gives a money back guarantee that the vehicle has not been registered as stolen prior to export from America or Canada. It also guarantees that your vehicle has no outstanding financial liens, such as HP.

 


 


MAKE SURE YOUR VEHICLE IS IMPORTED CORRECTLY !

Members of the AIAA have been working closely with HM Customs and Excise for years in ensuring that vehicles entering the UK are declared correctly for Import Duty and VAT. There have been recent cases of importers incorrectly declaring values and vehicle characteristics which can leave the vehicle owner/importer in a very awkward position with the law.

 


 


ENSURE THAT YOUR SVA MODIFICATIONS ARE UNDERTAKEN SAFELY AND PROFESSIONALLY

With AIAA members at the forefront of negotiations with Government on the Technical standards pertaining to the Single Vehicle Approval of American vehicles-YOU ARE IN SAFE HANDS!! If you're paying thousands of pounds for an American Import it makes a lot of sense to know that the modifications for SVA are undertaken by real professionals. Our members employ specialist automotive engineers with unrivalled experience in carrying out the necessary modifications-don't leave it to amateurs!

 


 


AIAA MEMBERS ARE THERE TO GIVE YOU PEACE OF MIND WITH:

First class warranties,
Competitive and flexible Finance Packages
Insurance quotations
Servicing , repairs and spares
Favourable Part Exhanges
