As an EU citizen, you do not have to pay customs when you bring your vehicle to Greece.
However, there are important differences depending on whether you want to permanently import the vehicle or use it in Greece only temporarily.

✅ 1. No Customs for EU Vehicles

Within the EU, there are no customs fees, as Greece is part of the EU internal market.

🚗 2. Temporary Use (No Permanent Residence in Greece)

If your main residence is still in Germany, the vehicle in Greece may:

  • be used for up to 6 months per year without re-registration

  • continue to use German license plates

Important:
The vehicle must not remain permanently in Greece if the owner does not have a Greek residence.

🏠 3. Permanent Use (Primary Residence in Greece)

If your primary residence is moved to Greece, the following applies:

  • The vehicle must be registered in Greece.

  • There will be no customs fee, but a registration tax (Τέλη Ταξινόμησης) will be due.
    This tax depends on:

    • Vehicle type

    • CO₂ emissions

    • Engine capacity

    • Age
