Customs clearance of a popular crossover is half its price, but there are other costs
Today the Ministry of Industry and Trade published a register of foreign cars with prices that should now be used by the Federal Customs Service for customs clearance of foreign cars in Russia. The Telegram channel gave a couple of examples of how much customs clearance of new cars will now cost.
For example, the new Volkswagen Tiguan crossover with a 2.0 engine producing 220 hp. and all-wheel drive, according to the methodology of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, is valued at 3 million rubles, and its customs clearance costs 1.34 million rubles. But this is not all the potential buyer’s expenses, because you also need to pay for delivery, the SBCTS certificate, and ERU-GLONASS. As a result, the cost of the car already reaches 6 million rubles, although now such cars are sold for 4.95 million rubles.
Another example. The Ministry of Industry and Trade valued the Audi A8 with a 3.0-liter 340-horsepower engine at 9.2 million rubles. The cost of the car including customs clearance — 13.6 million rubles, the final price of the car taking into account all payments and delivery — already at least 16 million rubles. While now similar Audi A8s previously imported into the country are sold for 11-12 million rubles.
«One gets the feeling that officials decided to put an end to the segment of new cars imported unofficially or in parallel. & raquo;, — sums up No Limits.
