When should USCar Trader be contacted before purchase?
Whether a duty benefit may be available for the specific vehicle is assessed individually. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the case and provide non-binding support through the process.
Should I import the T8 plug-in hybrid?
It is a popular choice for its performance and electric range, provided a battery health check confirms good condition.
Does this vehicle automatically qualify for a 0% import-duty rate?
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.
How is import VAT treated when importing a Volvo XC60?
Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.
Which generation is best to import?
The second generation from 2018 onward, with its modern platform, safety tech and infotainment, is the most sought after.
Will a US XC60 pass TUEV?
Yes, after standard individual approval, which usually involves lighting verification or conversion and a rear fog lamp.
How safe is the XC60?
Safety is a core Volvo strength, with a comprehensive suite of active and passive systems on second-generation cars.
Do you charge a margin on the vehicle?
No. USCar Trader is an independent broker; you pay the car price plus transparent import costs.
