Law / Shipping a car from USA to Poland [86]
To simplify things here, :
There is duty to be paid on any vehicle imported in to the EU.
Example : England = duty to be paid and vat.
Ireland = Duty +vat and VRT= vat. VRT is paid on the book value.
I am not 100% sure, but i think in poland there is only duty to be paid + VAT, and also has to get vehicle test before registration can take place.
The duty can be avoided if the person importing the vehicle has owned it for a certain period : 6 or 12 months and has proof of insurance for that period, and is coming back to live permanently.
