Enquire about the individual authorisation project nowIf you import or export vehicles, you’ll know that the web of national and international rules and regulations is becoming ever tighter, more confusing and more complex. To register imported cars here, our experts in the ‘Import and Export Services’ (SIMEX) department will guide you through the jungle of regulations.
The requirements for modern vehicles are increasing – as are the regulatory hurdles for vehicle and bodywork manufacturers and for importers. As a designated Technical Service, TÜV NORD’s IFM supports you with all tests relating to individual type approval – drawing on many years of experience, state-of-the-art technology and personalised support throughout the entire approval process.
We provide information and advice on necessary vehicle modifications as well as registration options in various countries.

This database is constantly being updated to include new vehicles.
