This estimate includes import VAT in full. A VAT number does not automatically make vehicle VAT deductible: eligibility and the deductible share depend on the importing country, vehicle use, type and price. Business buyers should subtract only the VAT they have confirmed is recoverable when assessing net cost. Eligible businesses in Portugal and some other countries may account for import VAT on the return instead of paying at customs; this is not an exemption and does not itself grant a deduction.

Can this car get in?
- Who can import: Individuals and companies may import; companies need an EORI number for customs, and so do individuals when the car contains fluorinated gases (air conditioning)
- No EU COC → individual vehicle approval
- Glass light transmission ≥70%, EU-spec headlights
- Businesses need an EORI number to import
Rules and sources
- EU duty 10% (customs: private cars 10%) + VAT (moms) 25% (duty on the price plus freight, insurance and handling to the EU border, VAT on the same base plus duty; countervailing duty added separately); if the car contains fluorinated gases (air conditioning counts) even private importers need an EORI number and F-gas / ODS portal registration ↗ official 2026-10-26
- Countervailing duty on new China-built BEVs and range-extender cars (Reg. (EU) 2024/2754, Art. 1): the maker-specific rate (BYD 17.0 / Geely 18.8 / Tesla 7.8 / listed cooperating makers 20.7) applies only with an invoice issued by a listed producer and carrying the signed declaration; otherwise the 'all other companies' rate of 35.3 applies. SAIC and makers not on the list pay 35.3 ↗ official 2026-10-02
- Sweden has no one-off purchase or registration tax; the malus on high-emission cars is an increased annual vehicle tax for the first three years from when the car first becomes taxable (petrol / diesel cars and PHEVs, model year 2018 on), not collected at import ↗ official 2026-10-26
- Imported cars need an origin check (ursprungskontroll, SEK 1,240; documents: original CoC or registration certificate, purchase documents, proof of customs clearance) and a registration inspection; fixed fees total about SEK 4,600 (estimate — only the 1,240 is sourced); new cars without EU type approval need single-vehicle approval (enskilt godkännande, tested by an inspection company, no application fee from Transportstyrelsen) ↗ official 2026-10-26
EU duty 10% + VAT 25%; there is no one-off purchase or registration tax (cheaper on this point than Finland, the Netherlands or France); the malus on high-emission cars is an extra annual tax for the first three years, paid by the owner; Chinese-spec cars need single-vehicle approval; a winter market — buyers expect a heat pump and battery pre-heating. Countervailing duty update (2026-10): without an invoice issued by a listed manufacturer and carrying the required declaration the rate is 35.3% for every maker; range-extender cars are included; a car counts as used only if registered for more than 6 months and driven more than 6,000 km.
