We have assisted hundreds of aircraft owners and operators with the proper importation of their aircraft into the EU at 0% VAT and 0% duty. If you have any questions in relation to importation of an aircraft, VAT or duty on aircraft - call us now. We will consider your particular circumstances at no cost and if we can assist you we will advise you on the most suitable procedure.

We provide a range of services:

  • Importation for corporate users
  • Importation for aircraft dealers and manufacturers
  • Importation for AOC holders and operators
  • Importation for lessors or lessees
  • Importation of vintage aircraft at a reduced rate of 5% VAT
  • 6 months temporary importation
  • Exportation
  • Verification of VAT related documents

We can no longer serve the private aircraft owner unless the aircraft is more than 35 years old and in original condition - or restored. The VAT rate for vintage aircraft is 5%.

The old "Danish Route" with 0% VAT for all aircraft ended December 31st 2009. We recommend the private aircraft owner to import the aircraft in Luxembourg where the VAT rate is only 15%. Please see the Link page for contacts to a Customs agent in Luxembourg.
 
Why Denmark for importation?
Aircraft owners outside the EU who fly into and within the EU often have experienced problems with issues such as cabotage, because they have not obtained the proper VAT documentation. Most companies based in EU member states have to register for VAT, pay the VAT and reclaim it thus financing the amount for 3-6-12 months or more. Our procedures effectively eliminate the need to pay VAT and duty. As no up-front  VAT payment is required there is no need to wait for money to be refunded. We have a longstanding relationship with Customs Authorities which normally ensures overnight processing.
