Gents I'm looking for a COC for a 456 MGT MY 1999. I'm planning to import from the USA to France, I know already few things that need to change such as Remove the lamp inside the side markers Change the rear lamp cluster Left and right Install or modify to get a rear fog light What about the noise ( i have Tubi exhaust and plan to replace it with OEM silencer for the test period ) What else by experience you see that need to be replaced or adjust to meet the French regulation? Where can I get the COC or Attestation from Ferrari? Thanks for your great support
Hi JM35 Any Ferrari official dealer can get you one, it is issued by the factory. Rather expensive in France, around 1500/1800 €. And they will not give it to you without seeing the car. You know that if you import for good in France, you will pay 20 % VAT + 10% Tax as USA not part of EEC. Why don't you keep Texas number plates if it is temporary ?
Probably. Even in France price is different according to dealers. Switzerland is also cheaper. The problem is : they want to see the car. If you want COC, that means you want to register the car in Europe. No taxes at all because you are moving ??
Yes When you move from outside EEU to EEU country , as long as you have been resident for more than 12 months overseas, your personal effects, and household are duty free, this include cars You still need to pay for the registration and any modification that the car need to have in order to pass the test
Be careful to ask about the coc from Ferrari. The coc is a European conformity document that you get when you purchase a car in Europe only. I don’t think you can get one for Cars built for other markets, eg USA, UAE, Japan, China etc.. the specs vary for all of those. I’ve tried for a 12’ Gallardo I wanted to import from Texas, and ended up not purchasing the car. Also, it may be like Switzerland in France whereas the cars you bring in with your move, don’t need a coc.(works like the tax exemption).
