Thailand vs Malaysia vs Singapore vs Indonesia: Which ASEAN Market Lands a Chinese EV Cheapest?

Thailand lands a Chinese EV cheapest on customs — 0% ACFTA duty and 7% VAT put a BYD Seal at $31,068 (+25.8%). Malaysia follows at $33,167 (5% duty + 10% SST), Singapore at $37,155 (20% excise + 9% GST) before its COE gate, and Indonesia is hardest at $45,809 (50% duty after the CBU exemption expired). Four markets, four different gates — the full matrix, model by model.

Importing a Chinese EV to Austria: 10% EU Duty, Brand CVD, and 20% VAT — the German-Speaking Market With a Zero NoVA

Austria applies the full EU customs stack — 10% standard duty plus a brand-specific countervailing duty of 17% to 35.3% — then 20% VAT and a $200 registration line, while the NoVA acquisition tax is fully exempt for BEVs. A BYD Seal lands at about $44,431 (+80.0%), within $18 of Germany and $10,624 above the same car via non-EU Switzerland. Full stack, model by model, for Central Europe's German-speaking import market.

A BYD Seal lands at about $44,699 (+81.0%). And the cars arrive through Antwerp-Zeebrugge, Europe's largest vehicle-transshipment complex.

Importing a Chinese EV to Portugal: 10% EU Duty, Brand CVD, 23% VAT, and ISV — the Iberian Gateway

Importing a Chinese EV to Portugal runs the full EU tariff stack — 10% standard duty plus a brand-specific countervailing duty of 17% to 35.3% — and then 23% VAT, among the bloc's highest rates. A BYD Seal lands at about $45,385 (+83.8%): $726 more than the same car into Spain and the third-costliest of our twelve EU markets. Model-by-model math, the Iberian comparison, and what Portugal's EV incentives do and do not offset.
