Bringing anything into the EU to sell attracts a hefty sales tax - that's the unfortunate truth.

To bring a US car into Ireland, unless it is over 30yrs old you pay two separate taxes - VRT (circa 23% of the value) and VAT (21% of the value PLUS shipping costs).

They really do f*** you at the drive thru.
