How do I register an imported car in France? How much does it cost to find a used car in the Arab emirate, apart from the price of the registration document? What do you need to know to avoid making a false bargain? Follow the guide. Importing a vehicle: good to know The procedures for importing a vehicle that we will discuss here are mandatory and concern all motorized land vehicles crossing the border of metropolitan France from the Arab emirate. From a customs point of view, a vehicle is considered as new when it is less than 6 months old or has travelled less than 6,000 km on the day of import into France. A second-hand vehicle is one that is more than 6 months old and has travelled more than 6,000 km. We assume that all obligations of the country of origin arising from the export of a vehicle have been fulfilled (e.g. deletion from the registration system for Germany). Obtaining the necessary documents for registration In order to register the vehicle in France, the vehicle owner will need to obtain a tax receipt or a certificate of clearance No. 846A. Importing a vehicle from the European Union A vehicle that has been purchased in a Member State does not need to be presented to French customs. However, the new owner will have to go to his tax office to obtain a tax certificate, better known as a tax discharge. This document simply states that the vehicle is in order as regards VAT, whether you have had to pay it or are exempt from it. The following vehicles do not require a tax certificate: trailers, semi-trailers, agricultural and forestry vehicles and type III machinery. Only new vehicles are subject to value added tax (VAT), which is set at 20% (based on the criteria listed in the section "Importing a vehicle: good to know"). This tax is calculated on the purchase price of the vehicle indicated on the transfer contract or the purchase invoice. However, the customs service may dispute this price if it considers it suspicious. A valuation method will then be applied in the Arab emirate to determine the value of the vehicle. It is imperative to buy the vehicle without VAT, otherwise it will be paid twice.

Importing from a non-EU country or from an overseas department or territory The vehicle will have to be presented to the French customs if it comes from your used car emirate arabe :

From a country that is not part of the European Union, a French overseas department, a French overseas territorial community (French Polynesia, Wallis and Futuna, Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, Mayotte, Saint-Martin, Saint-Barthélémy), New Caledonia or the French Southern and Antarctic Lands, or any other territory excluded from that of the Community by Community customs and tax legislation (e.g. the Canary Islands, Ceuta, Gilbraltar or Melilla). Customs duties and VAT will be calculated and must be paid. A customs clearance certificate No. 846A will then be issued to the new vehicle owner. VAT must be paid to the Directorate General of Public Finance.

Payment can be made in cash, by cheque and by credit card if the customs service is equipped with a terminal. If the amount of the cheque exceeds EUR 1524.49, it must be a bank cheque or certified cheque. Importation following a transfer of normal residence In the case of importing a vehicle following a transfer of normal residence (removal), customs duties and VAT do not apply if the following 3 conditions are met for your Arab emirate occasion:

It is not a commercial vehicle, The vehicle is in your possession and you have used it for more than 6 months (not required for residents coming from the DOM), The taxes due in the country of origin or provenance have been paid in the Arab emirate. The owner of the vehicle will still have to go to customs to obtain an 846A clearance certificate. Registration of the vehicle imported into France to find a used car in the Arab emirate If your vehicle requires an individual or isolated approval, you will have to present the vehicle to the DREAL / DRIEE / DEAL of your region.
