Why Homologate Your Greece Import With DriveSino
Homologation in Greece — FAQ
Do I need homologation to register an imported car in Greece?
Yes, unless your vehicle already has valid EU type approval and a Certificate of Conformity. Otherwise, Greece requires individual vehicle approval before registration.
How long does homologation take in Greece?
It depends on your specific vehicle and whether EU type approval already applies. Contact us for a realistic timeline once we know your vehicle.
Can DriveSino homologate a car that isn't from China?
Yes. We manage individual vehicle approval in Greece for imports from South Korea, the United States, Japan, and other non-EU markets, not just China.
Is homologation the same as customs clearance in Greece?
No — they're separate. Customs clearance covers import duties and VAT; homologation certifies the vehicle meets Greece's technical and safety standards for registration. Both are needed for an imported vehicle.
