Costs.

There are numerous duties assigned when you want to import goods for private use. They are mainly based on the CIF value. They are usually determined by the invoice presented to the customs or the value of a vehicle which is identical to the one you import.

Calculating taxes:

• Import Duty = Value x 17.5%
• Commodity Tax which is varying between 25% and 30% based on the size of the engine.
• Business Tax is equaled to the Commodity Tax + the Import Duty + Customs value multiplied by 5%
• Trade Promotion Service Fee equal to 0.04% of the Customs Value.

Once you get customs clearance you’d have to undergo an environmental protection inspection which is administered by the Automotive Research and Testing Center. There are several available methods of shipping to the country which are suitable for different vehicles and different budgets. They include:

• Ro/Ro Shipping – the simplest and the cheapest one. You have to get the car completely cleared of any other personal belongings.
• Container Shipping – this is more exclusive and more expensive as your car is going to be placed within a private container. You can also fill the container with other personal belongings prior to the shipping.
