Germany → Serbia car import calculator

Dealer's charge for filing the export with German customs and getting the EUR.1 stamped. Some include it, some charge more; the default is an estimate, so ask for the price in writing. Without EUR.1 you pay 12.5% duty.

The plates are valid only as long as this insurance. The default, €80, buys about 15 days at September 2026 broker prices; ask the insurer. You get a paper Doppelkarte, not an eVB number, and a green card: check that Serbia (SRB) is covered on it.

The registration office fee for export plates, €31.40 under the federal fee schedule (GebOSt no. 221.3). The car needs a valid HU (TÜV) for the whole plate period, shown at the office.

Made by a private plate maker, not included in the office fee; ADAC puts them at about €20 to €40. Export plates have a black border and a red field with the expiry date. Yellow short-term plates are not valid outside Germany.

Owed for at least one month, even when the plates are valid for less; worked out from engine size, CO₂ and year when you press Calculate.

Your bank's fee for paying abroad, from Serbia usually a SEPA transfer (since May 2026); the default covers Banca Intesa's SEPA fee on up to €50,000. A resident may take no more than about €10,000 in cash out of Serbia, so agree a bank transfer with the dealer before you sign.

German pumps averaged €2.35 for petrol and €2.46 for diesel on 21 September 2026 (EU Weekly Oil Bulletin); Austria, Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia were cheaper, so fill up after the border.

Tied to the plate number. The 18-day wait for vignettes bought online applies only to the annual and 2-month ones. No section tolls on the A8/A1/A4 route via Salzburg and Vienna.

Registered to the plate number.

Category I car: 850 RSD from Subotica to Belgrade on the Putevi Srbije price list valid from 1 July 2026, entered here in euros at the RSD rate in the Registration section; the box stays in euros when you change that rate. Change it for another destination.

Invoice price plus the fuel for the whole drive and the tolls abroad, which stand in here for the transport to the border that the law adds. Counting all the fuel slightly overstates the duty when there is no proof of EU origin. If customs doubt a low price, they first ask for proof and only then value the car another way, often from a catalogue.

Leave at 0 unless you expect customs to change the value. It changes duty and VAT.

With EUR.1 the duty is 0%. Without it, 12.5% of the customs value. An origin statement on the invoice can replace EUR.1 up to €6,000, or at any value when the seller is an approved exporter. Origin follows the origin rules, not where you buy: a car built in Japan, China, Korea, the USA or the UK cannot get a valid EUR.1 and pays 12.5%, and an EU-built car qualifies only if the exporter can document its origin.

20% of the customs value, the duty and the costs up to the first destination in Serbia. Paid in dinars at the inland customs office before the car is released.

Prepares the JCI, books the inspection, handles the terminal. The default is an estimate: get two or three quotes before you go.

Customs collect it on every imported car, electric ones too: 14.58 RSD per kg of the net mass in the car's homologation document or registration certificate (Zakon o naknadama za korišćenje javnih dobara, annex 7; Službeni glasnik RS 118/2025), and charge VAT on it as well. The calculator starts from a 1,400 kg car, 20,412 RSD; for yours, multiply its mass by 14.58.

Every dinar amount on the page is converted to euros at this rate.

An authorised body inspects the car and the Road Traffic Safety Agency (ABS) issues the certificate without which it cannot be registered. On two 2026 price lists the body's price and the state fees of 430 and 3,000 RSD come to 20,680 to 21,850 RSD; ask for a quote.

The Government decision (Službeni glasnik RS 13/2022) sets 3,070 to 6,020 RSD for any passenger car, the exhaust test included, and MUP said in 2022 that this includes VAT; a station may not charge outside that range. Bring the ABS certificate; the registracioni list is valid for 30 days.

Priced by engine-power band, the top one over 110 kW, and bonus-malus class. A first policy for a car you have just bought is in class 4: 27,597 RSD over 110 kW and 23,241 RSD for 85 to 110 kW (Wiener Städtische, September 2026, with the 5% premium tax); a foreign no-claims record does not count.

State fees of 430 (request), 880 (registration certificate), 270 (sticker) and 1,490 RSD (plates), and from 12 September 2026 the cost of making the certificate, the sticker and the plates, 858, 342 and 1,380 RSD: 5,650 RSD in all.

Paid every year at registration. Each municipality sets it by engine size, up to a legal maximum; this is that maximum, which Belgrade charges. Worked out when you press Calculate.

Paid every year at registration; depends on engine size, age and drivetrain.
