When is a car considered a classic car?
A vehicle is generally considered a classic car if it is at least 30 years old and its condition can be described as almost original. In this case, it may be imported into the European Union duty-free under certain circumstances, or only the legally stipulated 7% import VAT will be applied.
Duty-free import of classic cars
Whether a classic car may be imported duty-free is decided by the European customs authority after a thorough inspection. This is, of course, different when importing into Switzerland. Our employees with years of experience in classic car imports not only handle the customs clearance of your dream car but also deliver it safely to any location you desire. Our door-to-door solution is a popular service. This way, you can quickly enjoy your imported vehicle.
Importing classic cars into Switzerland without complications
The import of classic cars into Switzerland is subject to specific regulations that require precise knowledge. Our specialists master the complex interplay of customs procedures, tax obligations, and technical regulations. Each import is calculated individually, taking into account factors such as vehicle weight, country of origin, and purchase price.
Customs duties of between 12 and 15 Swiss francs per 100 kilograms of vehicle weight are only one cost factor when importing classic cars into Switzerland. In addition, there is a four percent car tax and 8.1 percent VAT on the total amount. EUR1 forms allow duty-free import under certain conditions. We examine all possibilities for cost optimization and provide transparent calculations before you make important decisions when importing a classic car into Switzerland.
