Dodge Ram Charger off an American line — what it changes in duty
EU–US Agreement on Reciprocal Trade has applied since 2026-07-01 and cuts duty to 0% for cars finally assembled in the States. The Dodge Ram Charger meets that condition only in the cars genuinely built at an American plant; the rest clear at 10%. Verification runs on the VIN, not on the version name.
Where is the Dodge Ram Charger assembled?
Production of the Dodge Ram Charger is often spread across continents, which is why the question of where it is built has several answers at once. For duty, only the country of the plant your car came off matters: the States mean 0%, any other country 10%. Model history and target market change nothing.
| Plant | Country | VIN prefix | Cars in our database | Duty |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mexico City | Mexico | 3B4 | 16 | 10% |
| Warren | United States | 1B4 | 7 | 0% duty |
Made in USA • Tax 0%
How do you check a specific car?
The VIN settles the matter in seconds. Ram Charger cars from plants in the USA carry the prefixes 1B4 here, but we look deeper — at the final assembly plant tied to the whole number. Only that answers the question of 0% or 10%.
How much will you save?
The gap is 10% of customs value, plus a side effect: 23% VAT is charged on the value with duty added, so a zero rate also lowers the tax base. On a Ram Charger assembled outside the USA neither effect fires. Work the result out in the calculator — the rates are fixed, the customs value is not.
Work out the import costWhat the import cost is made of
Three tax lines and one variable. Duty follows the assembly country of your Ram Charger: 0% for an American line, 10% for any other. Excise goes by engine size — 3.1% or 18.6%. VAT at 23% is worked out last, on customs value with duty and excise added.
| Component | Rate |
|---|---|
| Duty — car assembled in the USA | 0% |
| Duty — everything else | 10% |
| Excise | 3.1% up to 2.0 l, 18.6% above 3.5 l |
| VAT | 23% |
Rates, not amounts — the calculator works the sum out on current data.
Zero-duty paperwork — our job
Our customs agency handles the formalities. We gather the assembly data for the Dodge Ram Charger, prepare the declaration and see the clearance through. The rate finally granted is the customs office's decision, taken on the documents submitted.
What to watch for when buying at auction
Before you raise your bid, look at the damaged area. On a Ram Charger it is most often features.lots.characteristics.damage_type.mechanical, and then the key question is whether the body structure was disturbed. Origin is a separate check, run on the VIN — the two things are independent of each other.
| Damage | Cars in our database |
|---|---|
| Mechanical | 2 |
| Front end | 1 |
| Normal wear | 1 |
From the USA or from Europe?
You go to the States for choice and for versions never sold in Europe. On that side of the bill you add transport, clearance and post-damage repair; pulling the other way is 0% duty on Ram Charger cars from American lines. Decide after the VIN check, not before it.
