# Motorcycle customs clearance in Ukraine

Which charges apply when importing a motorcycle and what determines their size.

Customs clearance is a mandatory step in legally importing a motorcycle. Let us look at the structure of the charges without naming exact figures, since they depend on the bike''s parameters and current rates.

### Components of the customs charges

-   Import duty.
-   Excise tax - depends on engine displacement, type, and age of the motorcycle.
-   Value added tax.

### What determines the amount

The charges are set by the customs value, engine displacement, year of manufacture, and current law. The exact amount is therefore calculated individually for each motorcycle.

### Documents and processing

Clearance requires export documents from Japan and an invoice. We handle the processing and pay the statutory charges, and you receive the motorcycle with a full document set.
