Benefits of Importing a Car from Italy
Choosing an Italian vehicle offers several strategic advantages, especially for buyers in the Netherlands and the wider EU:
Wide selection of premium brands: Access to limited editions and specifications not found elsewhere.
Superior Equipment: Italian models are often more comprehensively equipped with luxury finishes compared to standard Dutch versions.
Reliable Condition: Contrary to myths, high-end Italian vehicles often benefit from meticulous maintenance and strict inspections.
No Import Duties: Since Italy is an EU member, there are no customs fees or import duties for EU residents.
Price Advantage: A larger supply and higher local competition often result in more attractive pricing for the buyer.
Favorable Climate: Vehicles from Central and Southern Italy are less likely to suffer from chassis corrosion, as they haven’t been exposed to the harsh road salts used in Northern Europe.
Unique Heritage Models: Italy is a goldmine for well-preserved “Youngtimers” and classic cars that have been kept in dry garages.

FAQ: Importing a Car from Italy
Can you help with the BPM tax?
Yes, this is our specialty. We use various legal calculation methods to ensure you pay the lowest possible BPM amount for your Italian import.
Do I have to pay VAT twice?
No. If you buy a used car (older than 6 months and with more than 6,000 km) from an EU country like Italy, you do not pay VAT again in the Netherlands if it was already paid in the country of origin.
Is car transport to and from Italy safe for low-clearance sports cars?
Absolutely. We use specialized trailers designed for low-clearance vehicles like Ferraris and Lamborghinis to ensure no damage occurs during transit.
