The route, the tolls and the export paperwork differ by country, so each country has its own calculator. Calculators for more countries are in preparation.

What you pay

Customs duty: 0% for a car of EU origin with an EUR.1 certificate, otherwise 12.5% of the customs value.
VAT: 20% of the customs value plus duty, paid at customs.
Homologation (AMSS or other authorised body)Confirms the car meets Serbian technical rules. Estimate: about 10,000 to 12,000 RSD; with a CoC it's a paperwork check.
MUP administrative feesEstimate: request 430, registration document 880, sticker 270 and a pair of plates 1,490 RSD, 3,070 RSD in all. The amounts are adjusted every year; the police station has the current ones.
Technical inspectionThe Government's 2022 decision sets 3,070 to 6,020 RSD for a passenger car.
Transfer tax, 2.5%Not due on an import, because VAT is paid at customs. It applies when you later sell the car in Serbia; the buyer normally pays it.
