Our services
Import, export and register your car
Buying a car in Germany or Czechia, bringing it over, registering it in France: each step is a job of its own. We take care of all of them.
02
Registration & French papers
Registering a car bought abroad is an administrative maze: tax clearance from the French tax office, European certificate of conformity, ANTS filing, plates. We build the whole file for you. If you live or your company is established in Czechia or Germany, our local presence also lets us register the car there, transit plates included during transport.

Car sourcing
Make, model, engine, budget, mileage, colour: give us your criteria and we activate our network across Germany, Czechia and Europe. We also calculate the French CO2 tax before purchase and steer you towards cars that legally reduce it — age allowance, engines under the threshold, or a used electric car.

Pre-purchase inspection
Before you commit a single euro, one of our partner experts in Germany — a certified master mechanic using TÜV NORD diagnostics — inspects the car at the seller's: mechanics, bodywork, ECU readout, German documents (Fahrzeugbrief and Fahrzeugschein), mileage, test drive. You receive the JNO Motors report with photos, our frank opinion and costed arguments for negotiating — including when our advice is to walk away.

You might be wondering…
How much does it cost to import a car from Germany?
On top of the car itself, you pay for transport (which varies with distance and method), the French CO2 tax if it applies, the registration fee and our fee. We give you a full quote before you commit, with no costs discovered along the way.
How do I register a car bought in Germany?
You need a tax clearance certificate from the French tax office, a European certificate of conformity, the foreign registration document and a file submitted to the ANTS. We build all of it for you and deliver the car with its French plates.
What is the French CO2 tax in 2026 on an imported car?
In 2026 the CO2 tax starts at 108 g/km and is capped at €80,000, while the weight tax applies from 1,500 kg. A monthly-tiered depreciation reduces the amount based on the car's age, and an electric car is not subject to it. We calculate it before purchase so there is no bad surprise.
Do I have to pay VAT on a car bought in Germany?
If the car is used in tax terms — over six months old and over 6,000 km — VAT has already been paid in the country of origin and you do not pay it again in France. A car considered new in tax terms is taxed in France. We check this before purchase.
How long does importing a car from Germany take?
Expect a few weeks between approving the car and delivery with French plates: it depends on distance, how quickly the seller provides the paperwork, and ANTS processing. We give you a timeline from the start.
How do I avoid a clocked odometer on a German used car?
That is the main risk of buying at a distance. During the on-site inspection we check the service book, the vehicle history and the control units via OBD readout. When something does not add up, we tell you — and we advise against the purchase.
Which countries do you operate in?
We are based in Paris, Munich and Prague, and operate across Europe depending on your project.
