Question 1

Does a damaged auction car also get zero duty?

Accepted Answer

The rate does not follow condition, only the country of final assembly. A damaged Lucid from an American line clears exactly like an intact car from the same plant. What condition does affect is the purchase price, and through it the customs value.

Question 2

Can two cars of one model clear differently?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it happens often. Manufacturers run one nameplate on lines on different continents, so a Lucid can qualify for 0% while its twin from the same model year pays 10%. That is exactly why every VIN is checked on its own.

Question 3

Does every Lucid from the USA get zero duty?

Accepted Answer

No. The zero rate covers cars finally assembled in the States, and Lucid is built in several countries at once. Two cars of the same model can carry different rates, so the answer only comes from the plant country read off the VIN.

Question 4

How do you know where my Lucid was assembled?

Accepted Answer

From the production data tied to the VIN, which carries the country and city of the plant. You type in the number, we read the plant and compare it with the condition for the preference. That beats the first character of the VIN, which points only to the manufacturer's country.

Question 5

What if the Lucid was assembled in Mexico?

Accepted Answer

Then the car enters the EU at the standard 10% rather than 0%. Where you bought it makes no difference: a car won at a sale in the States but assembled in Mexico or Canada fails the origin condition and clears like any other import.
