INSTRUCTION/ Payments for car customs clearance increase significantly

The amended Instruction of the Minister of Finance “On the Valuation of Goods for Customs Purposes”, now in force with its publication in the Official Gazette, shows a significant increase in the reference prices for the customs clearance of vehicles, marking a clear tightening of the customs valuation policy in this sector. If in the 2018 instruction the emphasis was on the use of traditional bulletins and the establishment of relatively low minimum thresholds, the new instruction not only expands the reference sources, but also directly increases the basis on which customs duties are calculated.

For cars, the increase in minimum prices is visible in all engine displacement categories.

In the 2018 guideline, for vehicles up to 1400 cc, the minimum customs clearance value was 130 thousand lekë, while with the new guideline this value increases to 162.5 thousand lekë, or about 25% more. For the category over 1400–1900 cc, the minimum threshold increases from 200 thousand lekë to 250 thousand lekë, again reflecting an increase of about 25%. The same logic follows for the highest cylinder capacities: from 325 thousand lekë to 406 thousand lekë for the 1900–2500 cc segment, from 400 thousand lekë to 500 thousand lekë for 2500–3000 cc, from 500 thousand lekë to 625 thousand lekë for 3000–4500 cc and from 800 thousand lekë to 1 million lekë for vehicles over 4500 cc.

In all cases, the increase is consistent and shows a clear indexation of minimum values, in line with current market prices.

The same trend is observed for pickup trucks, vans, and trucks.

In the 2018 guideline, for vehicles up to 1.5 tons, the minimum threshold was 400 thousand lekë, while the new guideline increases this value to 500 thousand lekë. For the 1.5–3.5 ton segment, the minimum value increases from 600 thousand lekë to 750 thousand lekë, while for vehicles 3.5–10 tons, from 850 thousand lekë to about 1.06 million lekë.

For trucks weighing 10–15 tons, the threshold increases from 1 million lek to 1.25 million lek, and for those weighing over 15 tons from 1.2 million lek to 1.5 million lek. Here too, the increases are significant and in some cases approach or exceed the 25% level.

In practical terms, this means that customs clearance of vehicles, especially used ones and those with earlier production years, is done on higher valuation bases compared to the 2018 guideline. While previously there was a greater scope for declarations near the minimum limits, the new guideline significantly narrows this scope, bringing the customs value closer to the real prices of European markets.

In this way, the increase in customs clearance prices is not merely nominal, but represents a clear change in valuation philosophy, with the aim of strengthening fiscal control and reducing undervaluation in vehicle imports.
