Motorhomes often have a high original list price. By applying the correct depreciation calculation, you can avoid paying unnecessarily high BPM when importing the vehicle into the Netherlands.
More choice, better prices
Why import a motorhome from Belgium?
Belgium is an interesting market for motorhome buyers. Many motorhomes are used primarily for recreational purposes and often have relatively low mileage. In addition, you can regularly find models that are harder to find in the Netherlands.
Price can also play an important role. Due to differences in supply and demand, motorhomes in Belgium can sometimes be significantly more affordable.
Other reasons why buyers look to Belgium include:
- Interesting private offers available on a regular basis
- Good availability of young used motorhomes
- Often well-equipped models
- Geographically close to the Netherlands
For many buyers, Belgium is therefore a logical place to search for their next motorhome.

Key considerations when importing a motorhome
What you need to know
Importing a motorhome from Belgium differs in several ways from importing a passenger car. Due to factors such as vehicle weight, interior layout and fiscal regulations, additional requirements apply when registering a motorhome in the Netherlands. It is therefore important to understand these aspects in advance.
Because of these differences, motorhome import requires specialist knowledge. We ensure that your motorhome is imported correctly from a technical, fiscal and administrative perspective, allowing the process to run smoothly and helping you avoid unexpected surprises afterwards.
BPM calculation for motorhomes
RDW layout requirements
To be registered as a motorhome, the vehicle must meet specific layout requirements. These include features such as a fixed sleeping area, cooking facilities and sufficient storage space.
Only when these requirements are met can the vehicle officially be registered as a motorhome.
Weight and driving licence
Many motorhomes weigh more than 3,500 kg. This can affect several aspects, such as the type of driving licence required, road tax levels and insurance conditions.
Accessories such as solar panels, awnings or bicycle racks can also influence the total weight of the vehicle. It is therefore important to take these factors into account during the import and registration process.
VAT and fiscal scheme
For relatively young motorhomes, VAT may still have to be paid in the Netherlands. In addition, the VAT or margin scheme applied to the vehicle can affect the final import costs.
For this reason, it is important to verify in advance under which fiscal scheme the motorhome is sold.
