What are the customs duties for cars in Northern Cyprus?

The customs duties for importing a car to Northern Cyprus range between 45% and 60% of the estimated value of the car. The amount is calculated based on several factors:

Age of the car
Engine capacity
Engine type
Estimated value of the imported car
Additionally, only right-hand drive vehicles are allowed on the island. Left-hand drive cars can only be granted temporary approval.

Our recommendation is, if you’re buying a property in Northern Cyprus and plan to stay permanently, it’s better to buy a car locally—this saves both costs and hassle.
