Car like luggage

Car Age Factors

If it is up to 1.8 liters, then the tariff for you will be exactly 3 euros. And if more than 2.3, then it is already 3.5 euros. If you own a fast car with a volume of more than three liters, the tariff will be exactly 4 euros.
- How to calculate the customs clearance of a car from Japan, which has been in operation for more than five years? It's simple: also at a rate of 3 euros per 1 cubic meter of motor volume.
