new member in DK - need EU declaration

[antileon]

I am a importing 5707 from US. The DK goverment requires that I can provide a declaration of conformity to meet EU standards to get i registered.
Is that something that also is required when importing a US car to UK and can anyone help me with a copy of such a document.
Thanks

Hejsa. Det du skal have er en data erklæring jeg måtte også bestille en til min delorean og den koster ca 4000 kr

Tak Engberg, jeg ville blot se om der var en genvej, det er jo et tåbeligt krav når modellen er kørende overalt i Europa. Ved motorcykler kræves det at modellen er registreret/godkendt tidligere i EU.
Da alle DMC 12 er ens og stort set lige gamle forekommer det ulogisk med en dataerklæring på hvert enkelt køretøj/serienummer. Men logik er jo ikke altid det der præger lovgivningen.

[Engberg]

Det tror jeg desværre ikke der er, det er som du selv siger... Det er ikke logisk.

Og tillykke med dit nye køretøj, hvis du har spørgsmål er du altid velkommen til at kontakte mig

Hi and welcome

We don't need that certificate over here as the car is too old to need it

The tax to register a car is massive, I have 'Lotus' friends in Copenhagen who have to pay like £12k just in tax

Where about's are you in Denmark?

I am in Skanderborg
The cost of importing is 5 % duty of invoice value, then comes tax. because it is considered a veteran next year the tax is reduced to around 6K pound in my case.
new cars are 180 %. Its more like a fine.

I know a friend just paid 114,000 dkk (£11k!) for registration plates on his 25 year old Lotus Esprit although the tax authority originally wanted 185,000dkk! He did say there is a possibility for cars over 35 years to have the tax greatly reduced but then the car is limited to when/where it can drive on the road.
He also just mentioned to me they have changed the tax starting this month saying the tax can range from 180% of the import price for high end cars down to 105% for cheap cars.

I went over to visit some friends in Copenhagen earlier this year and several of them drove their cars on the temporary paper plates that are like £20 for 3 days but are very strict on use, mainly used for say taking your car to be repaired etc, even having a passenger can cause the police to impound your car!
Guess we don't have so bad after all!
