What you pay at customs (cars from third countries)

  • Customs processing fee: 0.40% of the customs value
  • Import duty under the EAEU tariff: 15% for new cars, 20% for used cars
  • VAT: 12%

The duty depends on the year, engine type and size and the tariff code. Rates are set at EAEU level, so Kyrgyzstan cannot change them on its own. Confirm the final amount with a customs broker.
