Duty depends on age and engine size

Customs duty, recycling fee and clearance charge for a car imported by a private individual, with the total including the car itself.

This is the Russian regime for a private person importing a car for their own use. Three things are paid: the single rate of customs duties and taxes, the recycling levy and the customs processing fee. The single rate stands in for duty, VAT and excise at once — item 3 of table 2, annex 2 to EAEU Council Decision No. 107.

Age decides how it is worked out. Up to three years old, it is a percentage of the value with a floor per cubic centimetre, and both climb with the price band. From three to five years, and over five, only the engine size counts. Electric cars fall outside the single rate, and the calculator does not model them.

How to use

Enter the car's price in euros and the euro-to-rouble rate.
Enter the engine size in cubic centimetres and the power in horsepower — the power sets the recycling levy.
Enter the years since manufacture; the thresholds are three and five.
Read the single rate with its working, the recycling levy with its coefficient, the processing fee and the total with the car.

The single rate for cars up to three years old

Decision No. 107 splits new cars into six price bands. In each, the charge is a percentage of the value with a floor per cubic centimetre, whichever is higher. Cars aged three to five pay €1.5 to €3.6 per cc depending on engine size; older ones pay €3 to €5.7.

Item 3 of table 2, annex 2 to EAEU Council Decision No. 107 of 20 December 2017.
Car value	Percentage	At least, € per cc
up to €8,500	54%	2.5
€8,500–16,700	48%	3.5
€16,700–42,300	48%	5.5
€42,300–84,500	48%	7.5
€84,500–169,000	48%	15
over €169,000	48%	20

What it comes to

Each row is a separate run of the calculator at 100 ₽ to the euro. Going over 160 hp loses the concessionary recycling levy: for a one-year-old car with 190 hp it is 900,000 ₽ instead of 3,400 ₽.

Every row comes from the calculator on this page.

What to keep in mind

Import by a private person for personal use. Companies, and imports for resale, pay different charges.
The recycling levy follows the 2026 columns of the schedule to Resolution No. 1291: the concessionary 0.17 or 0.26 only runs up to 3,000 cc and 160 hp; above that the general scale applies.
The processing fee follows item 1 of Resolution No. 1637 as amended on 23 October 2025, on the customs value in roubles, taken here as the price at the rate entered.

FAQs

Why do three and five years matter so much?

That is how the single rate is built. Up to and including three years it is a share of the value with a per-cc floor; over three and up to five years it is engine size alone at the lowest rates; over five it is engine size again, but dearer — 1,600 cc pays €2.5 per cc in the first case and €3.5 in the second.

What does a private importer pay on an electric car?

Not the single rate: under item 4 of table 2 in Decision No. 107, electric cars carry the aggregate customs payment — duty, excise and VAT. This calculator does not work that out; the recycling levy for an electric car is in the recycling-fee calculator.

Why does horsepower change the total so much?

Because of the recycling levy. For personal import the concessionary coefficient is 0.17 under three years and 0.26 over, but only up to 3,000 cc and 160 hp. A one-year-old two-litre car with 190 hp pays the general scale: 20,000 ₽ × 45 = 900,000 ₽.

How much is the customs processing fee in 2026?

It depends on the customs value: 1,231 ₽ up to 200,000 ₽, 4,924 ₽ over 450,000 and up to 1.2 million, 13,541 ₽ up to 2.7 million, 18,465 ₽ up to 4.2 million and 73,860 ₽ over 10 million roubles. The scale has applied since 1 January 2026.

When does a new car pay by engine size rather than price?

When the per-cc floor is larger than the percentage. A €7,000 car with a 1,600 cc engine: 54% of the price is €3,780, while 1,600 × €2.5 is €4,000, so €4,000 is due.

Does this apply to importing a car into the UK, the EU or the US?

No. These are the Eurasian Economic Union's personal-import rates as applied in Russia. Other countries charge their own duty and VAT on quite different bases.

Worked example

A four-year-old 1.6-litre car

Input: €15,000, rate 100 ₽, 1600 cc, 150 hp, 4 years

Output: Single rate €4,000, recycling levy 5,200 ₽, fee 13,541 ₽ — 418,741 ₽ in all

Note: Between three and five years only the engine counts: 1600 × €2.5 = €4,000, or 400,000 ₽. At two years old the same car would cost 736,941 ₽ to bring in: 48% of its value, €7,200, beats the €3.5-per-cc floor.
