The duties for all used cars from Canada are cleared, a system of preferential excise rates.

Ukrainians promise cheap cars from Canada. Since August 1 of this year, an agreement on a free trade zone between the countries comes into force, and cars have entered the list of products that will be imported in preferential treatment, UBR.

However, as the head of the All-Ukrainian Association of Automobile Importers and Dealers (VAAID) Oleg Nazarenko, as in the case of the FTA of Ukraine with Europe, duties on new cars from Canada will not be canceled immediately. A transition period of 8 years is envisaged. In the first year, you will have to pay 7/8 of the base rate at 7% of the customs value, that is, 6,125%, in the second year - 3/4 (5.25%) and t.

But right from August this year, zero import duty will be introduced only by new petrol cars with engine capacity of 2.2-3 liters, as well as diesel models with a motor more than 2.5 liters.

Plus - from the first year the duties for all used cars from Canada. There is also a system of preferential excise rates - from 0.1 euros to 2.2 euros per each cubic centimeter of the engine, depending on its volume.

It is clear that you will have to pay an additional 20% VAT, but even so the customs clearance will be cheaper than, for example, in the case of European cars. If the last at the customs charge about 30-33% of the cost, then the fee for the Canadian is approximately 27-29%.

Nazarenko believes that in the coming years, the boom should not be expected, especially for new cars. First, discounts in the transition period will be very conditional, and secondly, the remote distance will play a role. Transportation of cars from Canada to our country will cost about 200-300 dollars and can take about a month.

The head of the consulting agency Autoconsulting Oleg Omelnitsky also calls the additional complications of the car, which are produced in Canada by the factories of the GM and Ford groups: they are produced mainly for sales inside the country and in the USA. Therefore, they are not certified for our market (they have red indicators, other optics and t. E). And although it is theoretically possible to get certificates in Ukraine, this is additional time and money.

Experts say: in theory, American and Japanese cars can theoretically be interesting in Canada. They are relatively inexpensive there. We will tell, on a site of private announcements on sale of used cars toronto. Craigslist. Ca Mazda3 GT 2007 is offered for 3,2 thousand. Dollars, and Honda Civic 2000th in general for 950 dollars.

True, it is impossible to officially legalize such cars in our country, since they do not meet the Euro-5 standard. Mazda3 2012 g. , Which corresponds to Euro-5, costs 9 thousand. Dollars. Taking into account the delivery and customs clearance, its price in Ukraine will be at least 12 thousand. Dollars.

For the same money, and even cheaper, you can find a similar car in Germany.

However, in the narrow segments of the import of cars from Canada can really grow, believes Omelnicki. It's about expensive sports or executive cars of American brands. For example, the Jeep Cherokee Sport 2016 g. In Canada is 21 thousand. Dollars. In Ukraine, the same is worth about 35 thousand. Dollars. Even taking into account the customs clearance it will be possible to save up to 5 thousand. Dollars.
