Car/Vehicle Shipping Cost from New Delhi to Helsinki

You can come to Finland with your own car or other vehicle on holiday without having to having to pay customs duty or vehicle tax. The vehicle must have valid motor insurance in the country of registration. Please note that you cannot lend your vehicle to a person living in Finland.

How much is the VAT and the customs duty? As a rule, the VAT rate on cars is 25.5% and the customs duty rate 10%. In addition, anti-dumping or countervailing duties must be paid on certain cars. These may considerably increase the import duties and taxes e.g. on a Chinese electric car.

The cheapest way to ship a car is typically open transport on a multi-car hauler, exposing it to the elements but saving significantly over enclosed shipping, with further savings from booking in advance, choosing terminal-to-terminal, and being flexible with dates, or even driving it yourself for short moves. Compare quotes from several carriers and brokers to find the best deal, especially if you can wait for off-peak times or multi-car loads.
