Duty Rates & HS Classification
Duty rates for automotive goods vary significantly by commodity code, origin, and applicable trade agreements. Key considerations:
- Passenger cars (HS 87.03): 6.5% from most origins; reduced under EU–Japan EPA
- Commercial vehicles (HS 87.04): rates vary by GVW and origin
- Spare parts: rates vary by HS heading (e.g., engines HS 84.07/84.08, tyres HS 40.11)
- Anti-dumping duties may apply to certain parts from specific origins
Preferential Origin & Trade Agreements
For parts from countries with EU preferential trade agreements (Japan, South Korea, UK), a proof of origin (EUR.1 or invoice declaration) is required to claim preferential duty rates. We advise on origin requirements for your specific shipment.
