Isuzu from the USA — which models get 0% duty
10 Isuzu models in our database show up with American assembly, while 4 arrive only from plants outside the USA. The preference in force since 2026-07-01 cuts duty to 0% instead of 10%, but what counts is where the individual car was put together — two cars of one model can carry different rates.
Which Isuzu models are assembled in the USA?
Most US-assembled Isuzu cars reach us from the plant in Lafayette. The same range also holds cars from lines outside the States: those enter the EU at 10%, while cars from American plants catch 0%.

Models of “American” brands without zero duty
Every Isuzu assembled outside the States stays outside the preference. Such a car pays 10% duty, and that figure also lifts the base for 23% VAT. Cars in this group are still worth importing — the arithmetic simply runs differently than for a car from an American plant.
| Model | Assembly countries | Status | Cars in our database |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trooper | Japan | No preference | 328 |
| VehiCROSS | Japan | No preference | 30 |
| NRR | Japan | No preference | 13 |
| NQR | Japan | No preference | 10 |
Made in USA • Tax 0%
How do you check a specific car?
Enter the VIN of a Isuzu and we will show you the plant it came off — Lafayette, for instance, if you have landed on a car from an American line. One model name is often produced in several countries at once, so the answer only means anything for a single number.
How much will you save?
Zero duty takes 10% of customs value off the bill and shrinks the base that 23% VAT is charged on. Excise stays put: 3.1% on smaller engines and 18.6% on large ones. For a particular Isuzu, let the calculator produce the figure — the rates are fixed, the customs value is not.
Work out the import costZero-duty paperwork — our job
Our customs agency handles the formalities. We collect the assembly data, prepare the declaration and run the clearance — for a Isuzu that qualifies on its VIN we apply for 0% duty. The rate finally granted is the customs office's decision, taken on the documents submitted.
