EU Yacht Importation

Importation to EU waters can be either full importation or temporary importation.

Full Importation
To qualify for Full Importation into the EU a yacht should be, for example:
·       Not owned in an EU State and intended for use by third party charters in EU waters
·       Built in an EU State and exported but is now returning to the EU
·       Built or purchased outside the EU
Temporary Importation
Owners who are non EU residents, or a yacht which is non EU Flagged, who wish to sail their yachts in EU waters for private purposes may temporarily bring their yacht into the EU without customs duties or VAT needing to be paid. Further details on Temporary Importation>>>
