We specialize in importing vehicles from the USA and Canada.
Importing a vehicle from the USA to the Czech Republic involves various administrative and financial steps, including customs duty. Customs duty is a mandatory charge when importing a vehicle into the European Union and must be taken into account when calculating the total import cost. In this section, we'll explain in detail how customs duty works, how it is calculated, and what other related charges may apply.
Although we've provided a complete guide here, if you're interested in importing a vehicle from the USA or Canada, you don't have to worry about these formalities. We'll handle the entire vehicle import process from the USA to the Czech Republic, including customs clearance and customs duty, for you.
1.
What Is Customs Duty When Importing a Vehicle from the USA?
Customs duty is a charge collected by the state when importing goods from countries outside the European Union. When importing a vehicle from the USA, the customs duty is 10% of the vehicle's value. This charge applies to vehicles imported into the Czech Republic from the USA. Customs duty is part of the broader range of costs that need to be considered when deciding whether to import a vehicle.
2.
How Is Customs Duty Calculated?
Customs duty is calculated as 10% of the vehicle's total customs value.
This value includes:
Vehicle purchase price – The price you paid for the vehicle in the USA.
Transportation costs – The cost of shipping the vehicle from the USA to a port in the EU.
Export and port fees – Costs associated with handling the vehicle at the port and loading it for shipment.
3.
Safe Transportation
We'll arrange the safe transportation of your vehicle from the USA to Europe. We'll handle transport from the seller to the port, ocean shipping in a covered container, and onward delivery to the Czech Republic. We carefully monitor the entire process, and the vehicle is fully insured from the moment of purchase until delivery, ensuring it arrives in perfect condition and without complications.
4.
How Is Customs Duty Paid?
Customs duty is paid when the vehicle is collected from the European port. The vehicle must go through customs clearance, where its customs value is determined and the applicable duty is calculated. Without paying the customs duty, the vehicle cannot be registered or legally used in the EU.
