Customs procedures

Vehicles purchased from third countries must undergo mandatory customs procedures, which cannot be expedited.

Once a container vessel arrives at the port, the container is unloaded from the ship within 1–3 business days. After unloading, the container is transported to customs warehouses. The unloading of the vehicle from the container is handled by a customs broker. Cargo handling operations may take up to 2 weeks. After the unloading process is completed, the vehicle is photographed.

The calculation of customs duty may take 2–3 business days. Customs duty is calculated based on the total amount of all incurred costs. A duty rate of 10% applies to cars, while motorcycles are subject to a 8% duty.

Costs include:

• Auction price:
• Local transport to the port:
• Logistics to the selected port:

VAT is calculated on the total cost amount, including customs duty and customs broker fees. The VAT rate is 21%.

Customs Duty Calculation

Customs duty rate: 10%
(1,000 + 200 + 500) × 0.10 = €170
Customs duty: €170

VAT Calculation

Auction price: €1,000
Transport to port: €200
Logistics to the selected port: €500
Customs broker + cargo handling: €330
Customs duty: €170

(1,000 + 200 + 500 + 330 + 170) × 0.21 = €462

VAT: €462

Total customs duty and VAT: €170 + €462 = €632
