In Russia, from August 1, the recycling fee for cars imported from abroad for resale will increase several times. For cars imported for personal use, the rate will remain the same.
The Ministry of Industry and Commerce announced the indexation of the recycling rate for cars imported for resale.
“Indexation is implied for new and used vehicles imported into the Russian Federation after August 1, 2023,” the Ministry of Industry and Trade said.
The salvage fee for light commercial vehicles will grow 2.5-3.4 times, trucks – 1.7 times, buses – 2.2-4.8 times, electric buses – 8.7 times.
For imported cars for personal use with an engine capacity of up to 3 liters, the fee will remain the same – 3.4 thousand rubles for a new car and 5.2 thousand for a used one.
In 2023, car imports increased several times. In the first six months of this year, 450,000 cars were imported into Russia, three times more than in 2022.
