The territory also offers a wide choice of makes and models, including top-of-the-range and rare ones, enough to delight enthusiasts in search of the rare pearl.<\/p>\n    \n\n    \n    <p>And don't forget the associated services: Andorran dealers are renowned for the quality of their support, with some even offering assistance with registration formalities.<\/p>\n    \n\n    \n    <blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n      <p>Buying a car in Andorra is a great opportunity, provided you prepare well in advance.

As the Principality is not part of the EU, you will need to :<\/p>\n    \n\n    \n    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n      <li>Get a <strong>846A customs clearance certificate<\/strong> with French customs<\/li>\n      <li>Provide a <strong>European Certificate of Conformity (COC)<\/strong> or perform an individual reception<\/li>\n      <li>Perform a <strong>online registration request<\/strong> on the ANTS website<\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n    \n\n    \n    <p>Use a Certificat Provisoire d'Immatriculation (CPI) while you wait for your definitive vehicle registration document, which can take from 2 to 8 weeks to obtain.<\/p>\n    \n\n    \n    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Control additional costs<\/h3>\n    \n\n    \n    <p>While the purchase price is often attractive, there are other costs to consider:<\/p>\n    \n\n    \n    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n      <li>Visit <strong>20% VAT<\/strong> to be paid when importing into France<\/li> \n      <li>Visit <strong>probate fees<\/strong> in the absence of a COC<\/li>\n      <li>Visit <strong>cost of vehicle registration<\/strong>variable according to wattage and place of residence<\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n    \n\n    \n    <blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n      <p>For a <a href=\"https:\/\/and-capital.com\/en\/tax-optimization-andorra\/\">tax optimization<\/a> nothing should be left to chance.

Premiums for vehicles registered in the Principality may also be higher. A thorough comparison is therefore essential.<\/p>\n    \n\n    \n    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing your license plate<\/h3>\n    \n\n    \n    <p>Another special feature to be aware of: if you live in Andorra for more than 183 days a year, you can keep an Andorran number plate, without the need for a <a href=\"https:\/\/and-capital.com\/en\/setting-up-a-company-in-andorra\/\">create a company<\/a>.
