Importing a vehicle into Hungary from another country is a comprehensive procedure requiring precise adherence to local legal norms and customs regulations. Our company, IST Hungary, provides professional consultancy services to make your vehicle registration process transparent, fast, and error-free.
We provide comprehensive support at all stages
We will explain in detail the current Hungarian and EU-wide customs legislation. We will help determine the correct HS code, calculate the payable customs duties and taxes (VAT, excise tax), and prepare the full package of necessary documents for customs, including the Certificate of Conformity and proof of the vehicle's origin.
If you need to drive the vehicle to Hungary or move within the EU before permanent registration, we will provide exhaustive information on obtaining temporary transit license plates (e.g., "export" plates from the country of origin or Hungarian temporary plates). We will explain their terms of validity, deadlines, and the application procedure.
Mandatory third-party liability insurance (in Hungarian: KGFB) is an essential requirement for registering and operating a vehicle in Hungary. We advise on choosing optimal insurance packages, including voluntary comprehensive coverage (CASCO) for full protection against damage and theft, and we help correctly issue the policy in the name of the new owner.
Beyond customs payments, importing a vehicle may entail additional financial obligations. We help clients navigate the local tax system: we advise on paying the registration fee, annual road tax, and explain the specifics of taxation for individuals and legal entities.
This is the final and key stage. We will explain in detail the procedure at the Transport Authority (Közlekedési Igazgatóság), prepare the necessary document package (customs declarations, sales contract, proof of tax payment, insurance policy, passport, and residential address), accompany you for the technical inspection, and assist in obtaining permanent Hungarian license plates.
