The customs duty rate depends on whether the vehicle falls under the “eligible” or “non-eligible” age category. What do these terms mean regarding the model year?
For customs purposes, vehicles are categorized by age as follows:
Currently, an “eligible” vehicle (offering the most favorable duty rates) is one manufactured between 3 and 5 years ago.
Customs duties for each specific group are calculated individually. For instance, clearing “eligible” vehicles is significantly cheaper than clearing brand-new or “non-eligible” (older) ones.
It is important to note that duties on the “non-eligible” group are often referred to as “prohibitive duties” due to their high cost.
Another way of importing vehicles “for documents” is the “Constructor” method. The essence of the method is that in Japan, the engine is removed and separated from the body.
A “Constructor” from Japan is one of the methods of importing cars into the territory of the country with the goal of reducing the customs duty. When processing a “Constructor,” the body remains intact.
A mandatory condition for purchasing a “Constructor” is the presence of an identical car. It is impossible to issue documents (PTS) for a “Constructor,” and besides this, there are other disadvantages:
It should also be understood that a car imported as a “Constructor” or a “Cut” (raspil) is not always registered in the GAI in an honest way and can bring certain problems.
But there are also advantages why people often bring cars in exactly this way:
