Genesis off American assembly lines
There is no single rate for the Genesis badge. Duty follows the plant that built the individual car: an American line means 0%, a line outside the States means 10%. VAT at 23% is charged on the value with duty added, so the gap reaches further than one line of the bill. The VIN of a single car decides.
Which Genesis models are assembled in the USA?
American assembly covers 8% of the Genesis cars in our database, but it spreads unevenly across models. Some families are built only in the States, some only outside them, and some in several countries at once. For a model with mixed assembly, 0% or 10% comes out of the VIN.

| G80 | South Korea | No preference | 2,458 |
| GV70 | South Korea, United States | Depends on the car | 2,031 |
| GV80 | South Korea | No preference | 1,645 |

| GV60 | South Korea | No preference | 182 |
| GV80 Coupe | South Korea | No preference | 32 |
Models of “American” brands without zero duty
Some Genesis families were never built in the States, and others moved abroad partway through a generation. Either way the car enters the EU at 10% rather than 0%. Model year and version can therefore give different answers under one and the same model name.

Made in USA • Tax 0%
How do you check a specific car?
The check takes about fifteen seconds: type in the VIN and we read the country and city of the assembly plant from the manufacturer's data. A plant in the States means this Genesis qualifies for 0% duty; any other country means 10%. The model name and the build year cannot tell you that on their own.
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 Genesis 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 Genesis and bid; we run the procedure.
