Formula Used

The total import cost is calculated using the following formula:

Total Import Cost = Purchase Price + Customs Duty + VAT + Registration Fee + Other Fees

Where:

  • Customs Duty is calculated based on the vehicle's value and country-specific rates
  • VAT is typically 20% of the vehicle's value in most Caucasus countries
  • Registration Fee varies by country and vehicle type
  • Other Fees include import permit fees, inspection fees, and any additional taxes

Worked Example

Let's calculate the import cost for a used BMW 3 Series with a purchase price of $30,000 from Germany to Armenia:

  1. Purchase Price: $30,000
  2. Customs Duty (10%): $3,000
  3. VAT (20%): $6,000
  4. Registration Fee: $500
  5. Other Fees: $1,000

Total Import Cost = $30,000 + $3,000 + $6,000 + $500 + $1,000 = $39,500

Note: These are estimated figures. Actual costs may vary based on current exchange rates, specific vehicle details, and local regulations.

Interpreting Results

The calculator provides a breakdown of all costs involved in importing your vehicle. Key points to consider:

  • Customs Duty is typically the highest cost factor
  • VAT is usually 20% of the vehicle's value
