Import Fees

When you want to import your motorcycle to Andorra, you are required to submit the Administrative Importation Document (DUA) and the original vehicle invoice to the Andorra Customs. If the motorcycle is used, permission is needed from Traffic Division of the Department of Economy of the Principality based on the evaluated value of the motorcycle.

You can then import your motorcycle which must be under five years old. If you are here as a foreigner without a residential permit/visa, you are not allowed to register a new motorcycle or buy a motorcycle that is registered in Andorra. You are not allowed to apply for an Andorran driving license. However, you are allowed to register your insured vehicle on tourist license plates (MT) till your residencia is approved.

There is an additional 10% VAT and 8% import duty that is payable on the book value of the vehicle while the licensing department charges around $200 for the log book. Those with a residencia can apply for the local driving license in Andorra to replace the driving license you hold currently. It is important to do this within the first 6 months of obtaining the residencia permit.
