Quick answer

Import duty depends on vehicle classification and CIF; use our examples and calculator to estimate duties for your car.

Explanation

Import duty is typically calculated as a percentage of CIF or VDP depending on classification. Common additional taxes include VAT (on CIF + duty) and surtax if applicable.

Example calculation

If CIF = $5,900 and duty rate = 25% → Duty = $1,475. VAT (15%) applies to CIF + Duty → VAT = 0.15*(5,900+1,475) = $1,056.25
