If you’re importing a vehicle to Germany for personal use, you’ll have to comply with any provisions that apply to imports either within or outside the European Union, including the standard consumption tax (Normverbrauchsabgabe or NoVA).

Some of the customs charges applied to imported vehicles in Germany, include:

• 10% duty on the value of the motor vehicle will be assessed up to the duty limit (purchase price plus delivery costs to the EU’s external border).
• 20% import turnover tax will be assessed based on the value of the motor vehicle free to destination (purchase price + delivery costs + customs duty amount).

If you’re importing a car into Germany from another country in the European Union, you won’t have to pay duties on the vehicle, if proof of preferential origin can be supplied. For temporary stays, you’ll need to purchase a short-term insurance policy and transfer license plates.

Berlin Motors can help you gather all necessary documentation and assist with customs processing.

When importing a motor vehicle to Germany from the USA, as a non-EU country, some of the documentation you’ll need includes:

• Proof of value (invoice with payment confirmation, purchase agreement)
• Import declaration
• If needed, proof of preferential origin to secure a preferential customs duty rate

Berlin Motors with our authorized partners, loads vehicle via a modern loading system that uses metal lifts in the container, and cars only get strapped by the wheels. This provides vehicles more space in the container and minimizes the risk of damage. Multiple vehicles are loaded into a single container, ensuring fast delivery times and reduced shipping costs.

We utilize this car loading rack system from the USA to Europe, Dubai, and China. We also use this system for car shipments from Germany to wherever your final destination may be. Berlin Motors assists project customers to select the best shipping solution.
