The European Commission has confirmed more favorable customs duties for electric cars manufactured in China, reducing tariffs to nearly 40 percent. These tariffs will take effect on Friday and impact both imports and cars that have already been ordered if imported after the tariff implementation date. This is a common issue for popular electric car models, which often have long delivery times. However, the new tariffs are temporary for four months, with ongoing discussions between China and the EU expected during this period. The EU will need to decide whether to make the punitive duties permanent.
The impact of customs duties on car prices can be significant. According to Teemu Nieminen, lawyer of Autotuojat ja -teollisuus ry, sellers have the right to transfer the customs fees to the final price. However, buyers can withdraw from a transaction if the final price increases by more than four percent due to customs duties. It’s important for consumers to check whether customs fees have been included in the price of a car they’ve ordered or are considering purchasing.
For customers waiting for delivery of Volvo cars ordered before the temporary tariffs came into effect, the prices will remain the same as at the time of the transaction. Volvo will determine its future operating methods based on the decision about permanent tariffs. Volvo’s popular EX30 model, which is being moved to production in Europe, will not be affected by the new customs duties.
