Customs Bust: Luxury Ferrari Seized in 230k Tax Evasion Case
Customs officials in Singen have uncovered a significant case of tax evasion involving luxury cars. A 60-year-old Luxembourg resident was fined for importing a high-value Ferrari without declaring it to customs.
Between January and June 2025, 26 cars registered outside the EU were detected in the district of the Main Customs Office Singen. These cars, with a total value of over 230,000 euros, were subject to import duties of around 71,500 euros. However, no public records exist of a private person importing a car worth over 230,000 euros from a non-EU country to Singen during this period that was not declared.
In the same period, another 38 cars could not present customs documents, leading to import duties of over 165,000 euros becoming due. The case was discovered during a routine customs control at the Konstanz - Paradiesertor customs office in early September.
A 60-year-old Luxembourg resident was fined around 124,000 euros for importing a black Ferrari valued at 195,000 Swiss francs (around 207,000 euros) into Germany without declaring it. The fine included 64,000 euros in import duties and an expected fine of 60,000 euros. The case has been forwarded to the Main Customs Office Karlsruhe for further processing.
