Moto & special equipment

Customs rates for motorcycles, trailers, machinery

Rates

  • Motorcycles

    Duty ~6–8%, excise by displacement (~0.4–0.5 €/cc), VAT 20%. Cheaper than cars but same rules.

  • Special equipment

    Excavators, tractors: duty 0–10% by tariff code, often no excise, VAT 20%.

  • Farm machinery

    Preferential codes for agro: 0% duty on many items — check the tariff code before buying.

  • Trailers

    Duty ~10%, no excise, VAT 20%; registered at the service centre as a vehicle.

Rates depend on the tariff code — one wrong code changes the amount multifold. A broker assigns the code before declaration; code disputes are a typical customs conflict. Used machinery is valued by customs catalogue.
