The import of cars from Germany to Bosnia and Herzegovina is becoming increasingly popular, but many are not fully acquainted with all costs that accompany this procedure.
At first glance, the price of vehicles in Germany may look attractive, but after all costs are added – Customs, VAT, transport, registration and other services – the total cost can increase significantly.
One of the basic costs that every car importer from Germany will have to pay is customs. On vehicles imported in BiH from the EU country, such as Germany, the customs is used in the amount of about 16 percent.
This means that it will be necessary to add 16 percent to the basic price of the car to obtain the overall customs value. In addition, VAT is also paid by 17 percent, which is calculated on the overall customs value of the vehicle, including customs customs.
One of the indispensable costs is the transport of cars from Germany to BiH. The price of transport depends on several factors, but the minimum price of car transport from Germany in BiH is about 1,300 KM. Transportation can be more expensive depending on the specific conditions, vehicle type, or distance, but this price is the basis for most cases.
In addition to customs, VAT and transport, importers are also facing additional costs. This includes various administrative services, such as ownership certificates, customs mediation, and preparation of vehicle registration documentation in BiH. These costs usually amount between 300 and 400 KM, depending on the specifics of imports.
One of the most important steps in the car import process is registration in BiH. This cost depends on the vehicle type, but for a vehicle that has cost 12,000 KM, the entire registration process, including technical insurance, insurance and all administrative fees, can amount to an additional 2,000 to 3,000 KM. So, in the end, a vehicle that cost 12,000 KM in Germany, given all additional costs, it can cost about 20,000 KM in BiH, and even more, writes GP Maljevac.
When all summons, the import of cars from Germany, although at first glance, involves a significant number of additional costs that can significantly increase the overall price of the vehicle.
