Whether you need to pay customs duties depends on the origin of the vehicle and your country of residence. Below you can find what applies to your situation.
Within the European Union
If you live within the EU and the vehicle is shipped from another EU member state, no customs duties or import taxes apply.
You only need to pay customs fees if the vehicle originates from:
- A country outside the EU; or
- An EU territory with special tax regulations, such as the Canary Islands, Channel Islands, or Vatican City.
Outside the European Union
If you live outside the EU or in a region with a special tax status, you will usually have to pay customs duties and import taxes once the vehicle enters your country.
The amount of these costs varies depending on the country and type of vehicle.
We recommend contacting your local customs or tax authority in advance to confirm the exact rates and conditions.
When Are Customs Fees Charged?
Customs fees are applied (if applicable) when the vehicle enters your country.
As the buyer, you are responsible for paying:
- Import duties
- Value-added tax (VAT)
- Any additional levies or clearance fees
The vehicle will only be released or delivered once all applicable costs have been fully paid.
