Customs & Regulations:USA :
Generally, classic or antique vehicles are exempt fromEnvironmental Protection Agency(EPA) andDepartment of Transportation(DOT) pollution and safety requirements.
If the vehicle is at least 21 years old, there are no EPA compliance requirements upon importation.A motor vehicle that is at least 25 years old can be lawfully imported into the U.S. without regard to whether it complies with all applicable DOT Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). Such a vehicle would be entered under Box 1 on the HS-7 Declaration form to be given to Customs at the time of importation. If you wish to see that form, you may download a copy from our website atwww.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/import.
Dutiable Entry
Foreign-made vehicles imported into the U.S., whether new or used, either for personal use or for sale, are generally dutiable at the following rates:
Auto | 2.5% |
Trucks | 25% |
Motorcycles | either free or 2.4% |
Europe
In order to qualify for not paying duty as well as the low VAT rate, your classic car must be:
- Original in state (No changes to the chassis, steering, braking system, engine, etc.)
- A minimum of 30 years old
- A model / type which is no longer in production
Classic cars have special Import tax and duty requirements. When you import a genuine classic automobile or motorcycle, you are normally not required to pay any import duties. This can be a huge savings advantage over other car types, which need to pay a 10% duty.
Another advantage to importing classic cars is that, depending on the destination country, you only have to pay between 5-7% value added tax (VAT) over the sum of the purchase price and transport cost. This lower VAT rate for classic car import is part of the legislation referring to the import of "antique goods".
Required Documents for importing:
Whenever importing a vehicle into Europe or USA, having the proper documentation is essential for admission into the destination country. In order to ensure a problem-free customs clearance, the following documents are required:
- Bill of Sale
- Original Title Certificate
- Shipper's Export Declaration
- Direct Representation Form (Note: only necessary when you're working through an importer. This gives them permission to handle on your behalf)
- VAT-number (Note: only needed when clearing the vehicle in your company's name)
- Customs Exemption for import duties & VAT (Note: only possible when you are moving to Europe and are relocating your vehicle as a part of your household goods)
These documents will generally serve to get customs clearance for classic cars. But before this can happen, import tax and duties will need to be paid.
