BPM<\/h2><p>Alles begint bij de douanewaarde: de aankoopprijs plus transport en verzekering tot de EU-grens. Daarover betaalt u normaal 10% invoerrechten. Over de douanewaarde plus invoerrechten komt 21% btw.<\/p><p><b>Nieuw sinds 1 juli 2026:<\/b> EU-verordening 2026\/1455 verlaagt de invoerrechten op goederen van Amerikaanse oorsprong naar 0%, voorlopig tot eind 2029. Personenauto's vallen eronder. Het gaat er wel om waar de auto is gebouwd, niet waar u hem kocht. Een Japanse of Mexicaanse auto van een veiling in Florida blijft 10% betalen. Een sticker \"Made in USA\" of een regel op de factuur is volgens de Europese Commissie niet genoeg. Een douanebemiddelaar die in Nederland inklaart, meldt dat hij sinds juli voor gebruikte veilingauto's nog geen enkele keer 0% kreeg. Reken dus met 10%.<\/p><p><b>De BPM<\/b> betaalt u na de RDW-keuring en voordat u een kenteken krijgt. Ze is gebaseerd op de CO2-uitstoot. Een Amerikaanse auto heeft alleen Amerikaanse EPA-cijfers en geen Europese CO2-waarde. Kunt u die waarde niet aantonen via Europese typegoedkeuring of de individuele goedkeuring van de RDW, dan rekent de Belastingdienst met een standaardwaarde: 507 g\/km voor benzineauto's die tussen 2015 en medio 2020 voor het eerst zijn toegelaten, 550 g\/km daarna.<\/p><p>Voor gebruikte auto&#039;s krijgt u korting op de BPM naar leeftijd, via de forfaitaire tabel, een koerslijst of een taxatierapport.

De aangifte gebeurt waar de auto Nederland binnenkomt, in de praktijk door een vervoerder of douaneagent die vaak ook de invoerrechten en btw voorschiet. Veel kopers uit andere EU-landen laten hun auto in Rotterdam inklaren en registreren hem daarna thuis. BPM betaalt u alleen bij een Nederlands kenteken.<\/p><h2 id=\"approval\">De RDW-keuring<\/h2><p>Een Amerikaanse auto heeft geen Europees certificaat van overeenstemming en heeft dus een individuele goedkeuring van de RDW nodig. Auto&#039;s van buiten de EU worden meestal gekeurd in het RDW-testcentrum in Lelystad. U boekt online en de RDW belt binnen twee weken om de afspraak te bevestigen. U kunt dit als particulier zelf regelen.<\/p><p>De keuring kost 1.128 euro, voor auto&#039;s gebouwd vanaf 2024 1.986 euro, plus 50 euro registratie en 72,50 euro voor het certificaat. Een herkeuring kost 650 euro en u betaalt ook als de auto wordt afgekeurd. De RDW houdt het Amerikaanse title-document in, dus maak eerst een kopie.<\/p><h2 id=\"salvage\">Salvage, rebuilt, flood: schade uit de VS<\/h2><p>Veel goedkope Amerikaanse auto&#039;s hebben een salvage-, rebuilt- of flood-title. Een verzekeraar heeft ze dus al eens total loss verklaard, of ze hebben in het water gestaan. Een importverbod hiervoor bestaat niet, maar de RDW waarschuwt dat beschadigde importauto&#039;s extra eisen krijgen via de schadekeuring. Na waterschade is een keuring altijd verplicht.<\/p><p>Zware schade kan de BPM verlagen via een taxatierapport. Sinds juli 2026 controleert de Belastingdienst die rapporten extra, omdat schade soms wordt verzonnen of overdreven. Er speelt nog iets: sommige Amerikaanse auto&#039;s worden eerst in Duitsland geregistreerd om een gedocumenteerde CO2-waarde te krijgen. Op die Duitse papieren staat de Amerikaanse schadehistorie niet meer.<\/p><p class=\"pullquote\">Een Duits of Nederlands kenteken vertelt u niet dat een auto in Amerika total loss was.<\/p><p>Daarom is stap 2 zo belangrijk: de Amerikaanse historie checkt u voor het bieden, niet erna. De RDW raadt ook aan de kilometerstand uit andere bronnen te controleren. Amerikaanse tellers staan in mijlen, dus reken eerst om.<\/p><p>In onze gids over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrvin.com\/blog\/imported-car-history-check\/\">de historie van een ge\u00efmporteerde auto controleren<\/a> leest u wat er nog meer verloren kan gaan wanneer een auto een grens over gaat.<\/p><h2 id=\"steps\">Stap voor stap: van advertentie tot uw oprit<\/h2><p>Zo gaat een import in de praktijk.
