Customs clearance

Vehicle Customs Clearance

Customs clearance for cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles, from checking the vehicle's documents to preparing what is needed for its registration.

Importing a vehicle, whether a car, a motorcycle or a commercial vehicle, comes with its own customs requirements. Before the vehicle can be registered and driven, the customs formalities have to be completed and the right documents have to be in place.

The charges are not a fixed amount. They depend on whether the vehicle comes from inside or outside the European Union, on its category, age, technical characteristics and value, and may include customs duty, VAT and registration tax, where they apply.

We start by checking the vehicle's purchase, transport and identification documents, so the process is properly prepared before the vehicle arrives and delays at customs are avoided.
