Importing a car from Germany in 2026 – costs and paperwork
What the import really costs, which documents you need and where the traps are.
Importing from Germany can still pay off, but only with the right car.
Costs: purchase price, transport or travel, excise duty, recycling fee, translations, technical inspection and registration.
Documents: contract or invoice, Fahrzeugbrief and Fahrzeugschein, deregistration confirmation, sworn translations.
Traps: total-loss repairs, clocked mileage, ex-fleet cars without service history.
