Features of customs clearance of cars from Armenia in 2021
The most profitable option for buying cars for Russian citizens is to buy them in the EAEU countries. This is not only a good opportunity not to overpay, but also an opportunity to choose a model that is not available on the secondary car market in the Russian Federation. If we talk about used cars, a buyer from Russia will also be pleasantly surprised by the quality of the product (the road surface in Armenia is many times better than the domestic one). How to buy a car from Armenia? How to formalize it properly and obtain a vehicle passport?
These are the questions that will become the main ones for the buyer.
It’s good that there are companies that can offer services for preparing all the necessary documents.
Brokers act as a customs representative and assist in vehicle registration. This will not take months, on the contrary: it will take only 5 days to resolve all documentary issues.
The cost of services is more than affordable. Do you need customs clearance of a car from Armenia to Russia?
It turns out not always. The procedure for making a purchase can be the most ordinary: you come to the market, choose the model you like, pay and receive documents in your hands in your country.
But there are nuances. When signing the agreement on accession to the EAEU, rules were established between the countries, which clearly defined what kind of car can be transported to Russia without going through customs clearance:
- Rule 2: the car was cleared through customs earlier and was in Armenia until 2014.
- Rule 1: the car must be manufactured in Armenia;
For those who are determined to buy a car, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with a separate material, which covers all the nuances of purchasing a car without customs clearance. As the practice of importing vehicles shows, the buyer is not interested in cars produced in Armenia, but in foreign-made cars imported into the country before 2014. Independent registration of a car imported from Armenia will require more time and effort on your part.
Often for this reason alone, many people prefer to turn to professionals. When choosing the second option, taxes, duties and documents will become the concern of the chosen customs representative (broker).
No effort is required from the buyer. It is thanks to the professionalism and experience of a specialized company that the registration time can be reduced from several months to several days. The main steps of the buyer after he has paid the seller of the chosen car are only to register and obtain a vehicle passport. After all, there will be no customs clearance procedure as such - Russia and Armenia are part of a single economic space. The same algorithm applies to trucks, motorcycles, and buses.
There will be no additional difficulties. As stated earlier, the price for customs clearance of a car from Armenia to Russia will be minimal, since Armenia joined the EAEU and from the beginning of 2015.
is its full member along with Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and Kyrgyzstan. Now the actual cost
What are the advantages and disadvantages of buying a car in Armenia?
Purchasing motor vehicles on the territory of Armenia is widely popular, as it has the following advantages:
- economic benefit. The cost of a used foreign car when purchased in a neighboring country is 20%-30% less than in Russia. In addition, after the country joined the Eurasian Economic Union, the duty for importing a vehicle was completely abolished and you can move around the Russian Federation with Armenian license plates
- large selection of models. In the markets of Armenia you can purchase popular models of foreign-made cars, including rare models not common in the Russian Federation
- quality of transport. As a rule, all used cars are assembled in the United States of America or Japan, which determines the build quality of the vehicle
- lack of operation on the territory of the Russian Federation. The quality of roads and service in the USA and other foreign countries is slightly higher than in Russia, which allows you to keep your car in good condition for a longer period of time.
- no need to pay transport tax, since the car is not registered in the Russian Federation
- no fines. Currently, traffic police cameras cannot recognize Armenian license plates. In addition, there is no single database between the Russian Federation and Armenia

However, purchasing motor vehicles in Armenia without re-registration of ownership in the Russian Federation also has some significant disadvantages, which include:
- presence of an accident history of the vehicle. In most cases, cars that have been in accidents and are offered for sale by insurance companies are sold on the Armenian markets. When purchasing such a car, it is important to know the extent of the damage received and the possibility of restorative repairs. You can obtain the necessary data online by checking on various Internet resources using the VIN number of the car.
- Armenian license plates. Among drivers there is a negative attitude towards vehicles registered in another region or another state. It should also be taken into account that if the numbers are stolen, it will not be possible to restore them in Russia
- inability to subsequently sell the car. Vehicles registered in other countries cannot be resold in Russia. To register the transaction, the seller and buyer must visit Armenia
- the complexity and duration of transporting a car to the buyer’s region of residence. To bring a car for further use requires additional time and additional money.
- additional complications. For example, cars with foreign license plates more often attract the attention of law enforcement officers, including traffic police, difficulty in communicating with the seller, preferential payment for purchases in cash

Get your calculator ready: the tax service on tariffs for importing cars from third countries for legal entities
YEREVAN, September 23 – Sputnik.
Customs tariffs for importing cars from third countries for legal entities will change from January 1, 2021. The State Revenue Committee (SRC) explained the formula by which customs clearance of vehicles will be carried out, taking into account the transition to tariffs operating within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU).
© Sputnik / Aram Nersesyan The tariff will be calculated based on the customs value of the car, year of manufacture and engine size.
For example, if in 2021 a legal entity imports a car with a customs value of 7,800 euros, less than three years old and an engine capacity of 2,500 cubic centimeters, then, firstly, a tariff will be calculated at 15% of the cost of the car, that is, 1,170 euros. Then VAT will be added to the duty in the amount of 20% of the sum of the customs value and the amount of duty - 1794 euros ((7800€+1170€) x 20%=1794 euros).
Environmental tax will not be charged since the car is not more than 5 years old.
Thus, the legal entity will pay 2964 euros - customs duty plus VAT. When calculating the customs duty on cars older than three years, the engine displacement is also taken into account.
If a legal entity imports a vehicle with a customs value of 7,800 euros, an engine capacity of 2,500 cubic centimeters and an age of 6 years, then the tariff will be determined according to the following formulas: 7,800 € x 20% = 1,560 euros; 2500 cm3 x 0.44 € = 1100 euros. The customs tariff will be 1560 euros. VAT in this case will be 1872 euros.
And VAT together with duty will amount to 3432 euros. To this is added an environmental tax, which in the case of a 6-year-old car is 2% of the customs value - 156 euros.
As a result, the legal entity will pay 3,588 euros for the car during customs clearance.
© Sputnik / Asatur Yesayants When importing cars older than 7 years, the customs duty is calculated by the derivative of the engine displacement and the established customs rate. For example, if you have an 8-year-old car worth 7800 euros, with a working volume of 2500 cubic centimeters, the duty per 1 centimeter will be 2.2 euros.
In total - 5500 euros.
VAT will be calculated using the mentioned formula: (7800 euros+5500 euros)x20%=2660 euros. Together with the duty it will amount to 8160 euros. An environmental tax will also be added to this, which in this case will be 156 euros.
As a result, the legal entity will pay 8,316 euros for customs clearance. The State Revenue Committee also reports that if a legal entity imports a car in 2021 and submits a goods declaration rather than a transit declaration by December 31 inclusive, then customs clearance will be carried out according to the old rules.
Earlier, the State Revenue Committee released information on new rules for importing cars for individuals.
Operation “Drive a car through Armenia.” A new way to save on customs duties?
Recently, messages appeared on one of the forums about a new method of bringing cars to Belarus through Armenia.
We decided to look into the situation - and this is what we found out. From October Square in Minsk to Yerevan Republic Square is 2800 kilometers. This is very far away, but we know that at least one car came to Belarus from Armenia.
Today the old customs clearance with low tariffs still operates there. Is there any benefit in buying a car in Armenia? How does it work? About a year ago we published the capital of Kyrgyzstan, where customs duties were reduced, and we came to the conclusion that there is no point in driving cars from there: our customs will require you to pay the difference in the cost of customs clearance. What about in Armenia? After Armenia joined the Eurasian Economic Union in January 2015, it became possible to travel without any restrictions in cars with Armenian license plates throughout the EAEU countries.
Let us remind you that the EAEU also includes Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
Russians took advantage of this, especially residents of the southern regions of the country - there gradually became more and more cars with Armenian license plates. At first, only cars that arrived in Armenia before October 2014 could be imported into Russia without customs clearance, but now this restriction has also been lifted.
Belarus is also part of the EAEU, so in fact you can drive such cars here too. The State Customs Committee confirmed to us verbally that cars with Armenian registration can be driven around Belarus.
It is theoretically possible to register these cars, for example, by paying the difference in customs duties. That is, the same as with Kyrgyzstan. There are also two more methods on the Internet, but how real they are is still unknown.
The first is to wait until 2023, when the car becomes a product of the EAEU, and change accounting.
The second is if the car was imported into the territory of Armenia before October 10, 2014. But no one has really done this yet, so it’s too early to talk about anything. What could theoretically be the benefit? Now the old tariffs for customs clearance of cars are in force in Armenia, they are much lower than ours. And there are no restrictions on the year of release.
But agreements have been made that starting from 2021 Armenia will bring its tariff schedule in line with the technical regulations of the EAEU, that is, this is the last year with low duties in Armenia. And it’s already August, so whether it’s possible to bring the car in time is a big question.
We recommend reading: Otherwise, disciplinary action will be taken
In any case, prices for cars in some segments are lower than ours. “They also buy cars from us from Belarus, but not enough.” On one of the forums there is a message from an unknown author that in May of this year he drove a Volkswagen from Armenia.
I bought cars in Georgia, since they are even cheaper there. Another resident of Belarus, but a citizen of Russia, wrote to us in a personal message that he drove a Toyota from Japan to Armenia, registered it there in his name, and drives Armenian “license plates” around Belarus. As it turned out, in order to register a car in Armenia, a Russian or Belarusian needs to register.
There are organizations in this country that quickly help in this matter.
What will happen to Armenian cars in Russia in 2021
sh: 1: –format=html: not found
There are quite a few cars with Armenian license plates on Russian roads. They are very common in the southern regions of the country, but finding such vehicles somewhere in the Urals or Siberia is also not such a problem.
Our guests from Armenia are not always driving. Often such cars belong to Russians, who actively take advantage of the loophole that allows them to buy used foreign cars in Armenia at almost half the price they would cost at home.
This loophole will close in the new year, and other difficulties may await Russians driving cars with Armenian license plates.
Let's figure out what will happen to cars with Armenian license plates in Russia in 2020 - will it make sense to buy used cars in Armenia, will you have to pay fines for violations on Russian roads.
Why are there so many cars with Armenian license plates in Russia?
In 2015, the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and the Customs Union of the member countries of this organization were created. Armenia became one of its first members (it joined the organization just one day after Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan).
Duties on imported cars in different countries of the Customs Union at the time of its creation were different. It took time to bring them to some kind of unified standard. By the end of 2019, Armenia remains a state where car customs clearance is much cheaper than in Russia.
Since Russia and Armenia found themselves in a common economic zone called the Customs Union, Russians had the opportunity to buy used foreign cars from their southern neighbors on the cheap.
On average, used foreign cars in Armenia are 1.5-2 times cheaper. than in Russia. For example, a Kia Optima, released five years ago, costs about 450 thousand rubles in Armenia, and 600-700 thousand in Russia.
A used Toyota Alphard in Russia costs up to 900 thousand rubles, in Armenia – about 500 thousand.
It is clear that buying cars in Armenia carries certain difficulties and risks.
To buy a used car at 1.5-2 times cheaper than the price on the Russian market, you need to carry out a whole special operation - go to Armenia, get a local “registration” and only after that buy a car. Of course, special intermediaries will help you at every step, and they will also have to pay something.
In Russia you can use an Armenian car, there are no problems with it. But difficulties will arise if you want to sell such a car. It will not be possible to register a car with Armenian license plates in Russia. You will either have to take it back to the place of registration and sell it there, or sell it under gray schemes to resellers (you can also sell it for spare parts for mere pennies).
However, there is also a unique advantage for reckless drivers driving cars with Armenian license plates. In fact, you can still violate traffic rules in any way you like under cameras - no fines are issued for this.
Russian cameras have learned to recognize Armenian license plates, but this is of little use. Fines at the place of registration of the car owner are almost never sent to Armenia. But at the Russian border these fines are not yet collected when a car leaves the country.
There is a lack of technical coordination between border guards and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It is clear that from the point of view of the state, everything described above is abnormal. Therefore, a lot will change in 2021.
What awaits cars with Armenian license plates in Russia in 2020
First of all, you should know that the shop with inexpensive foreign cars is closing. From January 1, 2021, Armenia will introduce duties on imported cars according to EAEU standards.
If previously the Armenian state received 10% of the cost of any imported car, now the duties are higher and more difficult to calculate.
As in Russia, much will depend on the year of manufacture and engine size.
In practice, this means that customs duties in Armenia will almost double the cost of a used foreign car when imported into the country. The same as in Russia. There will no longer be any point in going to Armenia for cheap used foreign cars.
As for those who have already bought a car with Armenian license plates and are using it in the Russian Federation, the opportunity for such drivers to break the rules with impunity is also gone.
Firstly, a unified system for distributing “chain letters” should appear in the Customs Union. Wherever a citizen of any of the EAEU member countries violates the rules, he will receive a notice of a fine in his homeland.
And his native state will demand to pay this fine.
Secondly, by February 2021 a special decree of the Russian government should appear. It will describe new measures that will finally close the loophole with both Armenian and Abkhaz vehicles.
In addition to unpaid fines from the traffic police, the state receives neither transport tax nor customs duties from the import of such cars. Therefore, in 2021, it is planned to unleash all possible legislative power on Armenian cars.

Online calculation
The 2021 calculator makes customs clearance of a car from Japan to Armenia as simple and transparent as possible; all necessary calculations are carried out in a matter of minutes.
The service appeared thanks to the employees of the information technology department. You can access it through the official website by going to “Electronic Services”.
To make a quick online calculation, the user must provide the following information:
- car make and model;
- year of issue;
- power, volume and type of engine;
- cost of the car (in dollars or euros).
After this, the system automatically makes a detailed calculation of the amount of duties that must be paid. The ability to quickly find out how much it costs to clear a car from Japan through customs allows citizens to save a lot of time, as well as predict their expenses in detail in advance.
At the end of 2021, it became known that the State Revenue Committee updated the estimated payments for customs clearance of cars from Japan to Armenia; the 2021 calculator began to calculate things a little differently. This was done due to changes in market prices in the main countries from which imported cars are imported. From January 1, 2021, data from new calculations is available in the online calculator.
The whole truth about Armenian accounting for tax evasion and customs clearance
Lately, a lot of information has been published about how you can legally import a car from abroad, but without paying huge duties and taxes. As a result, you can get a good used car from Japan or the USA for money that is ridiculous by the standards of the new Solaris.
Basically everyone writes about Abkhazian registration, but there you cannot become the owner of a car, but you can only be its driver with a power of attorney and a waybill from some organization, and at least once a year you will need to visit Abkhazia, pay a small fine for late payment and renew the waybill sheet. Of course, if you live in Sochi, the question is quite feasible, but if, for example, in Moscow? Armenia is part of the customs union, which gives the main advantage - the owner of the car is the buyer, and the buyer can be a citizen of the Russian Federation, together with the seller at the local traffic police you need to register the car, and receive a card like our STS and license plates.
A nice bonus is that you can choose the rooms on the spot, according to your taste, they don’t ask for much money for this. But there is a nuance, before this you need to get temporary registration, but this is not a problem, there are organizations that help you do this quickly.
So, the car will be your property, there is absolutely no need to return to Armenia for renewal, you can drive safely, but with Armenian license plates, + compulsory motor liability insurance will be a little more expensive. There are fines/taxes, the tax is not as high as ours, about 2 -3 times less, you can pay via the Internet, that is, you don’t have to travel.
Fines have not yet arrived, but cameras detect Armenian license plates and record violations in the database. The problem is that there is nowhere to send the fines, at most to the address of your temporary registration, which was at the time of purchasing the car, but you need to be prepared for the fact that sooner or later you will have to pay the fines, for example, when selling the car. How to sell? You can sell only on the territory of Armenia, you need to be present in person, or issue a general power of attorney for the person who will do it for you. Where can you drive a car to Armenia?
Here, without question, any popular auctions from Japan, the USA, Korea, everything successfully arrives in Georgia, where right-hand drive cars will need to be converted to left-hand drive (after the scandalous ban in April 18), then the car is imported and released on the territory of Armenia.
Duties are calculated according to catalogs, a percentage of the base/catalog price is taken, the catalog itself is available on the website of the Armenian customs. The advantage of such cars is that they have not driven on our roads, sometimes the interior of a car with a mileage of more than 150 thousand looks like no one is in it I didn’t drive it, but the car was increasing its mileage on the test bench. Of course, there are pitfalls, especially when ordering a car from auctions yourself, especially after a minor accident. Often small nuances are beautifully hidden in photographs and the final restoration can cost completely different money.
If you buy a car on the market in Yerevan, you need to be prepared for the local trick, there are no prices anywhere, the price is named based on who is suitable, the local price will always be lower.
Customs clearance of cars from Armenia to Russia
» On January 1, 2015, Armenia joined the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), and a new stage of development in the field of duty-free trade began for the country.
Customs clearance of a car transported from Armenia to Russia is carried out according to a simplified scheme with minimal tax deductions. Why do many Russians go to Armenia to buy a car?
The main reason is the lower price - on average 20-30%. Any citizen of the Russian Federation over the age of 18, as well as legal entities, is allowed to import cars into Russia. It should be remembered that obtaining a PTS is possible at any customs authority; for this you must provide the following documents:
- certificate of availability of the ERA-GLONASS system;
- receipt for payment of the recycling fee.
- certificate class Euro-5;
- certificate of registration with a note of deregistration;
- contract for the purchase and sale of a car in the name of the owner;
- application in the prescribed form;
- certificate with identification information;
- passport of a Russian citizen;
- insurance certificate;
Upon presentation of a package of the listed documents, customs issues a declaration for a car imported from Armenia to Russia.
Have you decided to buy a car from Armenia to Russia yourself or to order?
A ban has been established on customs clearance of vehicles below the Euro-5 class (they can be imported for collecting, but subsequent driving of such vehicles is prohibited). In 1 year, an individual can bring no more than 1 vehicle into the territory of Russia for his own needs.
The price of customs clearance of a car from Armenia to Russia is individual for each vehicle. For identical car models of different years of manufacture, payments are different.
The total cost consists of customs duties, recycling fees, customs clearance fees and excise taxes. Customs duties. Their value consists of a single rate of duties (for individuals) and customs payment (for legal entities), the amount of vehicle registration at customs, VAT and excise tax (for legal entities). Individuals must pay 1.5-5.7 euros per 1 cubic meter.
cm of engine - for vehicles whose age is more than 3 years, and from 2.5 euros per 1 cubic meter. cm – for younger vehicles. Legal entities pay 1.4-3.2 euros per 1 cubic meter.
see. The amount of the duty does not depend on the country of origin of the car. Recycling collection. It is calculated by multiplying the base rate (for passenger cars intended for own use, the base rate is 20,000, for commercial vehicles and trucks - 150,000) by a special coefficient.
For the size of the coefficient specifically in your case, see the page. Customs clearance fee.
The amount is calculated for a specific day at the exchange rate in Russian rubles (or in the currencies of other countries). The amount of the fee depends on the price of the car:
- if the cost is not higher than 200 thousand - 500 rubles;
- if the cost is 0.45-1.2 million – 2 thousand rubles;
- if the price is 1.2-2.5 million – 5.5 thousand rubles;
- if the cost is in the price range of 2.5-5 million – 7.5 thousand rubles.
Excise tax
Primary requirements
There are several basic requirements for customs clearance of vehicles.
- Import is carried out exclusively by adult citizens (legal or natural persons).
- The cost is calculated individually for each vehicle.
- The place of production of the vehicle does not affect the amount of duty.
- The final amount is calculated at the Central Bank exchange rate for a specific day.
- A declaration is required at the border. You can do it yourself.

From January 1, 2021, in accordance with the technical regulations of the Customs Union “On the safety of wheeled vehicles”, adopted by , the requirement to equip released vehicles of categories M and N with a device for calling emergency services has come into force.
The issuance by the customs authorities of the Russian Federation of vehicle passports (hereinafter referred to as PTS) for imported single vehicles not equipped with an emergency call device is carried out after customs operations are completed with the simultaneous submission to the customs authority of a certificate of safety of the design of the vehicle and an agreement for the purchase of the device, concluded by a person importing a single vehicle for the purchase of an emergency call device.
Recommendations and comments from customs authorities on registration of “ERA-GLONASS” can be read. With a number of changes that occurred in 2021 in the issue of importing imported cars, car enthusiasts have more and more new questions. Let's look at the intricacies: what costs fall on the payer and how to calculate customs clearance of a car in a new way?
Have you decided to become the owner of an imported car? Be prepared for the fact that first of all you will have to prove your solvency by depositing the guarantee amount. If you don’t know how to calculate the cost of customs clearance of a car, you can deposit an approximate amount into your account.
In any case, unused funds will be returned by customs after complete border control.
Confirmation that you have deposited funds will be a receipt and certificate issued by the Federal Customs Service. With these documents it is much easier to travel abroad.
You should also pay attention to how you will import the car: drive it yourself, sitting behind the wheel, or use container transportation. This determines whether you need to fill out the TD-6 declaration.
From January 2021, a mandatory condition for importing a car across the EAEU border is the installation of the ERA-GLONASS system on it.
It must be purchased from JSC GLONASS, installed in a certified center, enter information about the VIN number and body number and obtain a vehicle design safety certificate from a special laboratory.
When entering the territory of Russia, you must present a considerable package of documents:
- car insurance contract;
- GLONASS security certificate;
- customs receipt with a certificate issued before departure abroad;
- customs declaration, which can be prepared in advance using the online pre-form
- original documents for the car and their copies (it is important that the data in the passport and on the body, engine, etc. completely match);
Insurance is important. The lack of compulsory insurance can be a significant argument for refusal to cross the border, and in some cases even threatens with a fine.

Operation “Drive a car through Armenia.” A new way to save on customs duties?
Recently, messages appeared on one of the forums about a new method of bringing cars to Belarus through Armenia. We decided to look into the situation - and this is what we found out.
From October Square in Minsk to Yerevan Republic Square is 2800 kilometers.
This is very far away, but we know that at least one car came to Belarus from Armenia. Today the old customs clearance with low tariffs still operates there.
Are there any benefits to buying a car in Armenia?
How it works? About a year ago, we published the capital of Kyrgyzstan, where customs duties were reduced, and we came to the conclusion that there was no point in driving cars from there: our customs office will require you to pay the difference in the cost of customs clearance. What about in Armenia? After Armenia joined the Eurasian Economic Union in January 2015, it became possible to travel without any restrictions in cars with Armenian license plates throughout the EAEU countries.
Let us remind you that the EAEU also includes Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. Russians took advantage of this, especially residents of the southern regions of the country - there gradually became more and more cars with Armenian license plates.
At first, only cars that arrived in Armenia before October 2014 could be imported into Russia without customs clearance, but now this restriction has also been lifted.
Belarus is also part of the EAEU, so in fact you can drive such cars here too.
The State Customs Committee confirmed to us verbally that cars with Armenian registration can be driven around Belarus. It is theoretically possible to register these cars, for example, by paying the difference in customs duties.
That is, the same as with Kyrgyzstan. There are also two more methods on the Internet, but how real they are is still unknown.
The first is to wait until 2023, when the car becomes a product of the EAEU, and change accounting. The second is if the car was imported into the territory of Armenia before October 10, 2014. But no one has really done this yet, so it’s too early to talk about anything.
What could theoretically be the benefit?
Now in Armenia there are old tariffs for customs clearance of cars, they are much lower than ours. And there are no restrictions on the year of release. But agreements have been made that starting from 2021 Armenia will bring its tariff schedule in line with the technical regulations of the EAEU, that is, this is the last year with low duties in Armenia.
And it’s already August, so whether it’s possible to bring the car in time is a big question. In any case, prices for cars in some segments are lower than ours. “They also buy cars from us from Belarus, but not enough.” On one of the forums there is a message from an unknown author that in May of this year he brought a Volkswagen from Armenia.
I bought cars in Georgia, since they are even cheaper there. Another resident of Belarus, but a citizen of Russia, wrote to us in a personal message that he drove a Toyota from Japan to Armenia, registered it there in his name, and drives Armenian “license plates” around Belarus.
As it turned out, in order to register a car in Armenia, a Russian or Belarusian needs to register. There are organizations in this country that quickly help in this matter.

Registration fee
car within the framework of the adopted Government Resolution (dated 05/20/2020 No. 306)
will be 12,543 tenge
, including
the registration fee - 730
tenge (0.25 MCI),
the fee for the registration certificate - 3,646
tenge (1.25 MCI),
for the license plate - 8,167
tenge (2.8 MCI).
Payment of taxes, duties and fees
Before permanent registration you will have to pay:
- customs duties and duties;
- value added tax (VAT);
- excise tax;
First, you need to calculate the customs value of the goods. The customs value of a product is the price of the product and the amount of expenses incurred during purchase and transportation. The cost is indicated in the declaration by the car owners themselves. Receipts and the purchase and sale agreement must be attached as confirmation. If there is no receipt and the price indicated in the declaration is lower than the market price, state revenue authorities make an assessment independently.
The amount of customs duties is determined from the customs value. The fee for customs declaration of goods is 20,000 tenge.
The next payment is excise tax, excise tax rates are fixed and amount to 100 tenge per 1 cubic cm.
The VAT rate is set at 12%. The amount is calculated according to the following scheme: VAT = (Customs value + Duty, fees + Excise tax) x 12%.
Total amount of customs payments = Customs clearance fees + Duty + Excise tax + VAT
Here you can calculate the estimated amount of customs duties and taxes .
The amount of primary, including temporary, vehicle registration depends on the size of the monthly calculation index and the age of the vehicle.
Initial registration of new vehicles is cheaper, older cars are more expensive.
The tax rate for vehicles used for the transport of passengers and having, in addition to the driver’s seat, no more than 8 seats - passenger cars (category M1) with electric motors, with the exception of hybrid
- up to 2 years, including the year of issue – 0.25 MCI;
- from 2 to 3 years, including the year of issue – 25 MCI;
- from 3 years and above, including the year of issue – 250 MCI.
The tax rate for vehicles of category M1, with the exception of vehicles with electric motors:
- up to 2 years, including the year of issue – 0.25 MCI;
- from 2 to 3 years, including the year of issue – 50 MCI;
- from 3 years and above, including the year of issue – 500 MCI.
The fee for issuing a certificate of state registration of vehicles (SRTS) is 1.25 MCI.
The fee for issuing a state registration license plate for a car (GRNZ) is 2.8 MCI.
For example, for registering a non-electric car, produced in 2011, the total registration fee will be (500 MCI+1.25 MCI+2.8 MCI) = 1,458,500+ 3,646+ 8,167 = 1,470,313 tenge.
