Duty on a Rivian from the USA: 0% or 10%

Rivian reaches us with two kinds of origin: 1,333 cars in our database carry an American assembly plant on record, the rest a European, Mexican, Canadian or Asian one. The first group catches 0% duty, the second 10%. No model name settles this — you need the VIN.

Which Rivian models are assembled in the USA?

Most US-assembled Rivian cars reach us from the plant in Normal. The same range also holds cars from lines outside the States: those enter the EU at 10%, while cars from American plants catch 0%.

How do you check a specific car?

Start with the first three characters of the VIN — on a US-assembled Rivian that is most often 7FC. 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?

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 Rivian, let the calculator produce the figure — the rates are fixed, the customs value is not.

Zero-duty paperwork — our job

We handle customs from end to end. A Rivian 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.
