Not the case.
A friend of mine 'imported' a Belgian Ford Focus. Stock standard Tdi, no mods, not trick wheels, nothing.
They had to get a certificate of conformity from BELGIUM, they then had to have an inspection by customs and excise, which included, get this, a request to remove the engine so that they could find the engine number, then an equivalent of an MOT.
The whole process to bring a standard car from one European country to another took almost a year and cost in excess of 800 euros PLUS all of the time, effort and diesel driving hundreds of kms to get this or that piece of paper or inspection.
It is locked down like Alcatraz here. The only way to 'overcome' these 'challenges' is to ignore and break them! ;-)
