Importing a Chinese EV to Austria: 10% EU Duty, Brand CVD, and 20% VAT — the German-Speaking Market With a Zero NoVA

Austria applies the full EU customs stack — 10% standard duty plus a brand-specific countervailing duty of 17% to 35.3% — then 20% VAT and a $200 registration line, while the NoVA acquisition tax is fully exempt for BEVs. A BYD Seal lands at about $44,431 (+80.0%), within $18 of Germany and $10,624 above the same car via non-EU Switzerland. Full stack, model by model, for Central Europe's German-speaking import market.

Importing a Chinese EV to Poland: The Full EU Tariff Stack, 23% VAT, and Central Europe's Volume Hub

Importing a Chinese EV to Poland means the full EU tariff stack — 10% standard duty, a brand-specific countervailing duty (17% BYD to 35.3% SAIC), and 23% VAT — and a BYD Seal lands at about $45,240 (+83.2%), roughly $826 dearer than the same car in Germany. Poland still matters more than any other CEE market: a record 667,578 new-car registrations in 2025, Chinese brands at 8.2% for the year and a record 14.5% in December, and the NaszEauto subsidy now fully allocated. Here is the model-by-model landed-cost math and the trade-corridor context.
