How much is car import duty in Bolivia?

Base customs duty is 20% of CIF, and 2 further charges sit on top: VAT (IVA), Inland transport (estimate). The order matters, because VAT is charged on the charges as well as on the car. Put your own FOB and freight figures into the calculator above to see the total.

Is Bolivia duty charged on the price I paid for the car?

CIF value at Arica or Iquique and on through the land border, so inland freight sits inside the base.

What is not included in these figures?

Port charges at both ends, terminal handling, demurrage if a unit sits, agent and clearing fees at destination, and registration or number plates after clearance. Any inland transport line is shown separately where it applies, because it is a road cost rather than a customs charge. Ask for a quote and every one of these is itemised.
