一查:
Yes, Value-Added Tax (VAT) significantly impacts the sale of U.S. cars in the EU. While VAT is not a tariff, it is a consumption tax applied to almost all goods sold within the EU, including imported cars.
How VAT Affects U.S. Cars in the EU:
VAT Rates: Each EU country sets its own VAT rate, typically ranging from 19% to 25%.
Example:
Germany: 19%
France: 20%
Italy: 22%
Sweden & Denmark: 25%
VAT is Applied on Top of Import Tariffs:
When a U.S. car is imported into the EU, the 10% import tariff is applied first.
Then, VAT is calculated on the total cost, which includes the car price + import tariff + shipping costs.
