How duty is calculated on the Iveco Eurocargo
Import duty depends on the vehicle type, engine size and fuel. For a truck, petrol engines up to 1000cc are dutied at 5%, 1001–3000cc at 10%, and above 3000cc at 20% (diesel bands differ). After duty, VAT of 15% is applied to the duty-inclusive value, alongside NHIL and GETFund at 2.5% each. Smaller levies (ECOWAS, AU, EXIM, Special Import Levy) and an examination fee are charged on the CIF.
Vehicles older than 10 years also attract an age penalty that increases with age — a major cost for used imports, and one the calculator handles automatically.
