TO TRANSFER OR NOT TO TRANSFER A VEHICLE IN ORDER TO DEREGISTER IT FOR EXPORT

In recent days we have encountered several cases of clients who want to give away vehicles EXPORT CANCELLATION. In all cases, our suggestion has been that the vehicle be TRANSFERRED to the interested party before deregistering the vehicle for Export.

A deregistration due to export does not have particularly complicated procedures; what you do need to keep in mind is WHO This deregistration is for export. We are usually asked to handle the export deregistration directly on behalf of the vehicle owner to save costs., saving the costs of making a prior transfer to the person who will actually carry out said export.

It is true that this saves some expenses, but not the future inconveniences that this could entail, because if as owners of the vehicle we deregister it for Export in our name, for all intents and purposes, we are the ones stating that we are going to take the vehicle out of the country.

In summary, and as a final piece of advice, If we have a buyer who wants to take our vehicle out of the country by deregistering it for export, Let's not be greedy and assume the costs of transferring the vehicle. In other words, it's highly advisable to transfer the vehicle and let the new owner do with it as they wish—export it or use it—but we will have avoided future problems with the Tax Office, Customs, etc. Let's not be swayed by the typical "they are unnecessary expenses"; these are expenses that, if not assumed, can cause us problems in the future.

As a practical example, in our offices we usually do both procedures simultaneously, that is to say, transfer the vehicle and request the deregistration for export in the name of the new owner, without this implying any loss of time.
