Import and registration of a vehicle when moving to germany

Relocation plus: import of car, classic or motorcycle with MOT and registration

The service is aimed at new citizens in germany who want to bring, insure and register their car in the context of an international move and do not have sufficient language skills.

importing an import car or other motor vehicle when sending it from abroad to germany is sometimes an adventure. The complexity of importing a car depends on several factors: age, country of origin (production, first and last registration), technical condition and value. Within the european union there is no import tax or duty on the import of a used car. The EU import is therefore easier and cheaper, at least in this respect.

If a motor vehicle is imported into germany from a non-EU country, 10 % customs duty and 19 % import sales tax are usually payable. Under certain conditions, the imported car can also be recognized as household effects. Then the duty for the car import is omitted.

one can observe with imports from non-EU countries that the manufacturers do not support the owners of such vehicles or do so only reluctantly. So if you want to import your car to germany, you should check beforehand (!) make sure that an authorized workshop assists with the conversion, homologation and registration. otherwise it can become very inconvenient and expensive. in bremerhaven, where most of the cars from overseas arrive, there are specialized companies for homologation. These companies take care of everything and then deliver the vehicle to the new place of residence. for these and other reasons you should consider very carefully if it is economically worthwhile to import a car.

And when looking for an apartment, check whether and at what cost a car can be parked in the vicinity or in the house at all.

This relocation service can and should be booked well in advance of the start of the import car. The service list shows why:

Car relocation germany – we do it for you before the car import becomes a nightmare

ANDERS CONSULTING Relocation Service supports newcomers in Germany who bring their car or motorcycle with the necessary steps for registration, also with coordination of the necessary conversions and individual inspection

"if an EU import car could speak, it would be afraid when importing to germany. And before what? Of course, before the TuV. This is considered the most stringent technical inspection for vehicles in europe. So what to do when the beloved car has to go with you?

Whether on your own four wheels or by ship from overseas, whether from the EU or from third countries: no vehicle can be registered in Germany without the blessing of the TuV (technical inspection association) or another inspection organization. Only very few special test seals from other EU countries are recognized, and then only for the periods for which they were issued.

Whether, in addition to the main inspection (HU) and the emissions test (AU), modifications and a full expert opinion are also necessary depends on the age and origin of the vehicle, even in the case of an EU car.

Before importing a car, it is worth checking whether it makes economic sense to import it at all in view of the transport, repair and conversion costs. Older foreign vehicles rarely pass the TuV on the first attempt and then need to be repaired. For mopeds and small scooters applies: without certificate of conformity (COC) is the registration in Germany economic nonsense, or. Practically impossible.

If you want to save yourself the technical hassle and the bureaucracy, you can order the following from us. If your car has been yours for a long time, we will also make sure that you do not have to pay customs duty on the import of your car from outside the EU. keyword: ubersiedlungsgut.

5. Before importing a car, check whether the vehicle is accompanied by a certificate of conformity (COC). Otherwise request these from the dealer / manufacturer in good time

6. Although the inspectors have data sheets on most older vehicles of common makes, without a COC a full expert opinion ("baurat") is always necessary
