Import Duties and Taxes

Import Customs: Cars 5-10%.

VAT: (CIF + Import Customs) x 19. 6%

Registration fee: EUR 34 per horsepower for cars less than 10 years old and half of it for cars older than 10.

If the vehicle is new and less than 6 months old or has done less than 6000 km, then the VAT is charged on the invoiced price; otherwise, it is reduced according to the age of the vehicle.

VAT is levied on imported cars outside the European Union based on their value and country of origin. However, if cars from the EU have the right documents, there is no import duty.

On settlement or confirmation of VAT exemption, the importer is issued a customs certificate (Certificat de Douane 846A) for registration, which should be done within three months from the date of import.

Documentation Required on Vehicle Import

Identity Proof

Proof of Address (copy of property documents, tenancy agreement, bill, insurance receipt, etc.).

A certified copy of the foreign registration certificate.

Copy of the attestation of Conformity that is either issued by the manufacturer or agent.

The certificate of purchase and the customs clearance certificate from the Centre des Impots.

If the car is older than four years, it must have a French Controle technique (technical Tested) certificate; this must have been done within six months but not more than that (two months in case contre-visite or re-test is required).

Toyota HIACE VAN

I was very excited about getting this Van, but the buying process gave me some hard moments. I felt frustrated when things did not go as quickly as I expected. The car was also reached in rough condition.

Toyota HIACE VAN

I needed a good van, so I went with this Toyota Hiace. It has plenty of space and looks strong enough for my daily needs. My experience with SAT Japan was not satisfactory. They need to work on their communication.

This Mitsubishi Outlander is a beautiful car. I like the black color and the strong look. It feels like a car I can enjoy with my family. Bought it from SAT Japan, and I am happy with my choice.

Toyota COROLLA AXIO

Really clean Axio. Comfortable, quiet and AC works very well. I have driven it around quite a lot already and no problem so far. SAT Japan made the buying part easier than I expected. Would definitely consider another car from them later.

Toyota PROBOX VAN

Been using it for work almost every day. Starts, drives, carries my stuff and doesn't drink too much fuel. Shipping took a little longer than I expected but SAT Japan did update me when I contacted them. Car itself is good.

Toyota SIENTA

This was my first purchase with SAT Japan and I was nervous in beginning, especially waiting for the car to arrive. They replied whenever I asked something and eventually everything worked out. I'm happy with this purchase.

Toyota PROBOX VAN

Good car for daily use. Nothing fancy but fuel is cheap and it runs well. Had one small mark inside but I don't care much about that. SAT Japan documents came without any issue.
