Calculate the cost [Call](tel:+36707555705) Instant answer ## What to watch out for when importing a Norwegian car Norway is **not an EU member** , so a customs procedure is required — **but origin verification is not** , because Norway is an EEA member state and a vehicle with Norwegian papers registered there can be registered as an EEA vehicle. That is the biggest relief compared with Swiss or British cases. The document is the **vognkort** , split into del 1 and del 2. Many **electric cars** arrive from Norway: for electric vehicles the registration-tax base is 0 — but duty and import VAT apply to electric cars too. - **NO ORIGIN VERIFICATION** — EEA member state — A vehicle with Norwegian papers can be registered as an EEA vehicle. - **CUSTOMS PROCEDURE** — Outside the EU customs territory — Customs duty and import VAT apply despite EEA membership. - **ELECTRIC** — Registration tax base: 0 Ft — The registration tax base is zero — but customs duty and VAT are payable on an electric car too. ## Which documents are needed for a car imported from Norway? | Hungarian name | Norway equivalent | | --- | --- | | Vehicle registration certificate | Vognkort del 1 | | Vehicle title | Vognkort del 2 | | Proof of technical inspection | PKK — periodisk kjøretøykontroll | | Customs document | we issue it during the tax office procedure | Plus, in every case - bilingual sales contract or original invoice - the owner’s personal documents - for a company, a company extract and specimen signature [Norwegian–Hungarian sales contract A downloadable bilingual contract template.

In a dutiable case the burden is 39.7% (duty and VAT together). The 10% duty rate is not automatic, though: with proven preferential origin, a reduced rate — even 0% — may apply. Registration tax and duty arise on top. People typically bring electric cars home from Norway. For an electric car the base of the registration tax is 0 Ft — **but duty and import VAT are payable on an electric car too** . Norwegian prices are low because the tax system there is different; on the import side that is no advantage. ## How much does it cost to register a car from Norway? For an average 90 kW, five-year-old passenger car the **basic official cost** **150,000 – 210,000 Ft** , depending on whether there is a valid foreign inspection. These are basic official fees. On top come our service fee and, for a priority case, its fee.

In a dutiable case the burden is **39.7%** (customs duty and VAT together). The fee for the customs procedure depends on the details of the case; we can go through it precisely by phone. With Norway there is **no origin verification** , because Norway is an EEA member state — so exactly the step that adds 30–60 days to Swiss or British cases is skipped. This should not be confused with customs origin: for the reduced duty rate, origin must still be documented. [Discuss the customs cost by phone](tel:+36707555705) In detail Standard import — if not a returning resident The 10% duty is not automatic in every case Customs duty and import VAT apply to electric cars too Hungarian registration — as an EEA vehicle No separate origin verification is required Which documents are required There is no general Euro 6b lower limit It is not only passenger cars that can be registered Is a technical modification needed? Returning resident from Norway In short — the two routes ## Standard import — if not a returning resident When importing a Norwegian car, most cases are ordinary imports: the vehicle is not linked to a change of residence, so both **duty** and **import VAT** arise. What to reckon with in a Norwegian case: - the Norwegian purchase price - transport to Hungary - customs duty, if payable — as a rule 10% - import VAT — 27% - the fee for the customs procedure - the official fees of Hungarian registration and licensing - registration tax, if payable In a simplified example, duty and VAT together come to a burden of around 39.7% — but that is an example, not a fixed figure: origin, customs value and the costs included in the VAT base all affect it. ## The 10% duty is not automatic in every case The 10% duty rate is the main rule but is not set in stone. If the vehicle’s **preferential origin** is proven by the right document, a reduced rate — even 0% — may apply. Important: origin is a customs concept. A car bought in Norway is not thereby of Norwegian origin — for the reduced rate, origin must be documented. ## Customs duty and import VAT apply to electric cars too Electric cars are strikingly cheap in Norway. So almost everyone hopes the import will be cheap too. **It is not.** Norwegian prices are low because the tax system and the local incentive scheme there are different. On the Hungarian import side that means no relief whatsoever: **duty and import VAT are payable on an electric car too** , just as on a petrol or diesel vehicle. What really is favourable: **the base of the registration tax for a pure electric vehicle is 0 Ft** , and it also gets a green plate. That is a genuine saving on the Hungarian side — but alongside duty and VAT, not instead of them. The most common Norwegian misconception “Electric cars are cheap in Norway, so importing one will be cheap too.” Duty and import VAT are calculated from the customs value, whether or not the vehicle is electric. The low Norwegian price lowers the starting point, not the percentages. ## Hungarian registration — as an EEA vehicle Norway is a member of the **European Economic Area** (EEA). A vehicle with Norwegian papers and registered in Norway can therefore be registered in the Hungarian procedure **as an EEA vehicle** . The practical significance is that the detour familiar from third-country vehicles is unnecessary: there is no need to register first in another EU member state, and no separate official origin verification is required. ## No separate origin verification is required In Swiss or British cases official origin verification means a wait of **30–60 nap** and an official fee of **14.715 Ft** . With Norway this step is skipped — thanks to EEA membership. Not to be confused with customs origin Even where no official origin verification is required, **customs origin** must still be documented to get the reduced duty rate. Two separate things: one belongs to the registration procedure, the other to the customs procedure. ## Which documents are required - **Vognkort del 1** — the Norwegian registration certificate - **Vognkort del 2** — the section proving ownership - sales contract or original invoice - proof of payment supporting the customs value - CoC, if available - the owner’s personal documents; for a company, a company extract and specimen signature Del 1 is kept in the car, del 2 with the owner — the customs procedure needs both plus the original contract; copies will not start it. ## There is no general Euro 6b lower limit For a Norwegian vehicle there is no general rule that only vehicles from a given emission class may be imported. An older, lower-class vehicle can come too. The classification matters on the **registration tax** and Hungarian classification side — and there it matters a lot. ## It is not only passenger cars that can be registered Motorcycles, motorhomes, caravans, trailers and semi-trailers can also be imported from Norway. The same logic applies to all of them: duty, import VAT, Hungarian registration — without origin verification. It does not apply to trucks or commercial transport equipment The returning-resident duty exemption applies to personal property. It is not available for commercial means of transport — and what counts is not the vehicle’s everyday name but its **purpose, design and use** . For dual-purpose vehicles also used for commercial or professional purposes, the import VAT exemption may likewise be ruled out. ## Is a technical modification needed? **Usually not.** Vehicles registered in Norway are European versions: left-hand drive, km/h dial, European lighting. So Hungarian registration generally requires no technical conversion. There is one exception: if the vehicle was originally **imported from the USA** into that country, the specification of that particular example must be checked separately. What matters then is not where it reaches us from, but which market it was built for. ## Returning resident from Norway Anyone moving home from Norway may, under certain conditions, import their own vehicle free of duty and VAT. This is a separate track from normal import — different conditions, different documents. As a returning resident, free of customs duty and VAT Anyone moving home from outside the EU customs territory may, under certain conditions, import their own vehicle free of duty and VAT. Four separate conditions, three separate periods — and they must never be conflated: - at least 12 months of continuous normal residence outside the EU customs territory - the vehicle was in your possession AND use for at least 6 months at the previous residence - the import within 12 months of transferring normal residence - a vehicle released into free circulation duty-free cannot be transferred for 12 months - it does not apply to trucks or commercial transport equipment The exemption is determined by the authority, not by us — the detailed conditions, the circumstances examined by the tax authority and the legislation cited are on the returning-resident pillar page. [Customs and VAT exemption for returning residents — details →](https://jarmuhonositas.hu/en/case-types/returning-resident-vehicle/) 12-month transfer restriction A vehicle released duty-free into free circulation may not, for **12 months** . If you sell, lend, rent out or pledge it during that time, the duty and VAT become payable retrospectively. ## In short — the two routes | | Standard import | Returning resident | | --- | --- | --- | | Customs | payable, as a rule 10% | exemption if the conditions are met | | Import VAT | payable, 27% | exemption if the conditions are met | | Origin verification | not needed — EEA vehicle | not needed — EEA vehicle | | Euro category limit | nincs | nincs | | Technical modification | usually not | usually not | | A lien discovered later | nincs | cannot be transferred for 12 months | Before you buy ## Send us the VIN and the documents — before you buy From the 17-character VIN and photos of the papers we can tell you before you buy what lies ahead: whether duty is payable, whether conversion is needed, and what the expected total cost of getting it on the road in Hungary is. Asked afterwards, it is a far more expensive question.

Origin verification, on the other hand, is dropped precisely because of EEA membership. **Does a Norwegian car need origin verification?** No. A vehicle with Norwegian papers and registered in Norway can be registered as an EEA vehicle, so no separate official origin verification is needed. This should not be confused with customs origin: for the reduced duty rate, origin must still be documented. **Are customs duty and VAT payable on an electric car too?** Yes. Electric cars are cheap in Norway because the tax system there is different — on the import side that is no advantage. The base of the registration tax is zero, but duty and import VAT still arise. **What is a vognkort?** The Norwegian registration certificate, in del 1 and del 2. Del 2 proves ownership; registration needs both. **How long does registering a Norwegian car take?** Shorter than a Swiss or UK case, because the 30–60 day wait for origin verification does not apply. The lead time is set by the customs procedure and the inspection slot. Request a quote ## Bringing home a car from Norway?
