Importing Japanese camper to the Netherlands leads to high costs
Original source: Autobahn

Importing a Japanese Mitsubishi Delica D:5 camper to the Netherlands involves significant hidden costs. The lack of EU type approval leads to expensive technical modifications and a complex re-registration process with the RDW. Additionally, owners face a high BPM tax, especially on diesel models, which can multiply the vehicle's original purchase price.

Cheap Chinese Motorhome: Hidden Costs in the Netherlands

Chinese motorhomes advertised on social media for €18,800 attract buyers in the Netherlands, where camper prices have reached record highs. However, registration in the country adds transport costs, import duties, VAT and BPM tax, while individual RDW inspection can cost thousands of euros. Major Chinese manufacturers are beginning to enter the European market, but their models are adapted to local requirements and carry corresponding price tags.
