Karma from the USA — which models get 0% duty

There is no single rate for the Karma 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 Karma models are assembled in the USA?

American assembly covers part of the Karma 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.

How do you check a specific car?

Type in the VIN and check the assembly plant. US-built Karma cars in our database carry the prefixes 50G, but matching a prefix is not enough for the 0% rate — confirmation comes from the plant country read for that specific number.

How much will you save?

EU–US Agreement on Reciprocal Trade has applied since 2026-07-01 and it is what strips 10% duty from cars finally assembled in the States. For a Karma that meets the condition, what remains is excise (3.1% or 18.6%) and 23% VAT. Run the result through the calculator — it follows customs value and engine size.

Zero-duty paperwork — our job

We handle customs from end to end. A Karma with an American assembly plant is declared under the preference in force since 2026-07-01; every other car goes in at the standard 10% rate. Which documents are needed follows from the car's own data, not from the seller's description.
