Export Car to Denmark - RDW Recognized Export Office Hengelo
Exporting a car from the Netherlands to Denmark? Auto Export Document in Hengelo prepares all the Dutch paperwork a Danish buyer needs before dealing with Denmark\'s registration authority. Because Denmark levies one of Europe\'s highest registration taxes, buyers there watch the base purchase price closely - which makes competitively priced Dutch occasions attractive. We arrange the RDW export certificate, deregistration and, for the drive north, the export insurance and export plates in about 15 minutes.
Why export a car from the Netherlands to Denmark in 2026?
Denmark is a relatively small but interesting market. Danish car prices are heavily inflated by the registration tax, so buyers look abroad for the right base vehicle. A well-documented Dutch occasion with a clean APK history often works out well even after Danish tax is added.
Denmark is an EU member, so there are no import duties. The catch is the Danish registreringsafgift - a steep one-off registration tax that the buyer pays when registering the car. Registration and the tax assessment run through Motorstyrelsen (the Danish Motor Agency), usually together with a syn (technical inspection).
The drive is around 600 km from Hengelo to Copenhagen via Germany and the E45, crossing to Zealand over the Great Belt Bridge. The standard 14-day export insurance comfortably covers the route.
