Brussels is pressing China to cap hybrid exports at around 15% of the EU market or face new anti-subsidy duties — and with 154 plug-in hybrid models in our catalog, BYD, Chery and SAIC carry the most direct exposure.
The Xiaomi SU7 lands at $54,504 in Germany, $46,272 in the UK and $37,878 in the UAE; the BYD Han lands at $42,897, $37,534 and $30,579 — full duty, CVD and VAT math for two five-metre-class Chinese flagship sedans across seven markets.
In Germany the XPeng G6 lands at $45,830 versus $63,005 for the Xiaomi YU7 — in the UK $39,026 versus $53,374, and in the UAE $31,825 versus $43,809 — a full tariff-stack build-up across seven markets.
Zeekr X vs BYD Atto 3 landed cost: $40,719 vs $31,503 in Germany, $35,211 vs $27,713 in the UK and $28,639 vs $22,377 in the UAE — a $6,078–$9,293 gap across seven import markets.
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.
Belgium applies the same EU tariff stack as Germany and the Netherlands — 10% standard duty plus a 17%–35.3% brand-specific countervailing duty — and adds 21% VAT, with the smallest registration line in our four-market comparison at about $150. A BYD Seal lands at about $44,699 (+81.0%). And the cars arrive through Antwerp-Zeebrugge, Europe's largest vehicle-transshipment complex.
