How non-EU customs is calculated

The customs value is the car price plus shipping to the EU border. Duty of 10% is charged on it (or 0% for documented US- and Korean-origin cars). Excise is charged on the customs value plus duty, and 23% VAT on the customs value, duty and excise.

How excise on an EU car is calculated

No duty or VAT from EU countries — only excise on the purchase price. The rate depends on the engine and size: from 0% for electric cars to 18.6% for petrol and diesel cars over 2000 cc.

Registration and inspection

An imported car needs an inspection (149 zł) and must be registered within 30 days. Registration with standard plates is about 160 zł, with personalised plates about 1200 zł. OC insurance is required beforehand.

Relocation property

If you're moving to Poland permanently and lived outside the EU for at least 12 months, a car you've used for 6+ months can be imported without duty, VAT or excise. Tick this in the calculator.

Questions

Questions and answers

01Why does the calculator charge excise on the amount with duty?

For non-EU imports the excise base is the customs value plus duty. VAT is then charged on the value, duty and excise together.

02Should shipping be included?

Yes, for non-EU cars shipping to the EU border is part of the customs value. Shipping within the EU is not.

03Will the calculator match customs exactly?

It's a guide. Customs may reassess the value, and exchange rates change. We'll do an exact calculation from the documents.
