US to Ukraine Car Import Calculator features

  • 01

    Ukrainian excise formula explained

    Excise tax is the hardest part of the Ukrainian calculation. The calculator derives it from the tax code brackets: engine-size tier × age coefficient (capped at 15) × base euro rate, converted to UAH.

  • 02

    Gas vs diesel duty split

    Ukraine charges 10% customs duty on gasoline and hybrid cars and 12% on diesel, so the calculator switches the rate automatically based on the fuel type you pick.

  • 03

    Pension fund surcharge included

    The first-registration pension fund charge (3–5% depending on price tier) can add a meaningful line to the total. The calculator includes a simplified version so the landed cost is not understated.

US to Ukraine Car Import Calculator FAQ

How much does it cost to import a car from the USA to Ukraine?
The total depends on the US purchase price, shipping, age, engine displacement and fuel type. The calculator estimates Ukrainian customs duty, excise, 20% VAT, pension fund surcharge and local fees from those inputs.
How is Ukrainian car excise tax calculated?
Excise is based on engine size tier and fuel type, multiplied by an age coefficient (roughly age + 1, capped at 15) and a displacement coefficient. Older and larger cars are disproportionately more expensive.
Does Ukraine charge VAT on imported cars?
Yes, 20% VAT is applied to customs value + duty + excise. This is often the single largest line on the breakdown for mid-range cars.
Are electric cars cheaper to import into Ukraine?
Yes. Ukraine has extended EV import relief: no customs duty and typically no VAT on qualifying electric vehicles. The calculator reflects this when Electric is selected.
Is this an official Ukrainian customs calculator?
No. It is an unofficial planning tool based on public Ukrainian Tax Code and State Customs Service sources. Always verify with a licensed broker.
