Not only possible but bloody easy, and not wanting to sound 'unpatriotic' but usually saves a few pound also. When you get your cert you apply for an import licence, takes about ten days. Any dealer you deal with up there will put you right.

most dealers will actually fill in the paperwork for you all you have to do then is to post it to powers that be. Saved €250 on a Benelli a number of years ago.
