Freightliner from the USA — 2 models with US assembly
About 15% of the Freightliner cars that have passed through our database list an American assembly plant in their production data. Those pay 0% duty and the rest pay 10%. The badge settles nothing: European-market and US-market versions often come from different countries, and the plant record tied to the VIN gives the answer.
Which Freightliner models are assembled in the USA?
American assembly covers part of the Freightliner range rather than the whole badge. The table lists the countries the cars of each model actually came from and whether 0% or 10% is in play. A mixed status means the model is built on two continents, so the individual VIN settles it.
| Model | Assembly countries | Status | Cars in our database |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sprinter | Germany, United States | Depends on the car | 256 |
| M2 | Mexico, United States | Depends on the car | 17 |
| Sprinter Crew Vans | Germany | No preference | 3 |
Models of “American” brands without zero duty
1 Freightliner models have only ever reached us from plants outside the USA, and those enter the EU at 10%. That is not a lesser version of the car: the difference sits in the assembly country, which follows the manufacturer's production plan rather than the target market or the trim.

How do you check a specific car?
Start with the first three characters of the VIN — on a US-assembled Freightliner that is most often 1FV. It is a good hint rather than proof: the prefix describes the manufacturer and the country, while we reach for the record of the actual plant, so the answer covers this one car.
How much will you save?
The saving has two sources and both are percentages: 10% of duty disappears, and the 23% VAT base drops by exactly the line that was never added. On a Freightliner from a line outside the USA neither effect fires. The calculator shows both routes from the same inputs.
Work out the import costZero-duty paperwork — our job
Zero-duty paperwork is our half of the job. We read the assembly plant from production data, prepare the customs declaration and deal with the agency on your behalf. You pick a Freightliner and bid; we run the procedure.
