Our export prices and the Belgian registration costs

The full price list is below. In short:

• Export document from €50: the export certificate (kentekenbewijs deel II), the vrijwaringsbewijs and the RDW processing.
• Export insurance and white plates from €100: 14 days of third-party cover, the Green Card and the plates (two for a car), without the export document.
• Complete package from €150: export document, vrijwaringsbewijs, 14 days of insurance, Green Card and plates.
• Extension from €120: 14 more days of cover, after the insurer agrees.
• BPM refund service €149: a fixed fee including VAT, export document not included; the Belastingdienst decides on the refund.

CoC guidance is available on request, as the application route varies by manufacturer and importer. For a motorhome, van or lorry over 2,500 kg, or a vehicle with foreign documents, the price is on request. Caravan packages start from €220, and a trailer or semi-trailer (custom work) costs €250 at the desk or €280 express, always after we have assessed the situation.

The price can be higher outside office hours, with delivery by post, and for heavy or unusual vehicles. On Sunday we open by appointment at a higher rate; call or send a WhatsApp message first for the final price. The supplementary rates in the list are guide prices: a written confirmation for your vehicle, route, start date and shipping always applies. You pay in cash or by bank transfer.

Can't come to Hengelo? The export document by post costs €120 with a standard insured DHL shipment (about 5 working days) or €150 with DHL Express (about 1 working day), the same rate for the Netherlands and abroad. Insurance and plates by post add €150, so the complete package by post comes to about €270 to €300, depending on standard or express delivery. If the car is already in Belgium, the export runs through a separate postal procedure: contact us first, and we'll tell you what's needed and the price before you commit.

These are paid in Belgium, to Belgian bodies, not to us:

• Number plate: 30 euros per plate, paid on delivery by bpost.
• E705 customs vignette: free, according to the Flemish government.
• Pink application form: free.
• Technical inspection: the rates vary by region; we don't quote them.
• VAT: 21% for a private buyer, only on a 'new' means of transport (no more than 6,000 km, or delivered within six months of first entry into service). A private buyer of an older used car pays no Belgian VAT.

The one-off registration tax is regional, and we don't calculate it:

• Flanders, BIV: use the calculator of the Flemish Tax Administration.
• Wallonia, TMC: see the Walloon page on the taxe de mise en circulation.
• Brussels, BIV: rates on MyTax; see Brussels vehicle taxes.

The annual road tax also varies by region. Factors include CO2 emissions, fuel, power, mass and age. The steps that lead up to these taxes are on our page about registering a car in Belgium, and the papers you need on Dutch car export documents.
