What HS code applies to AC EVSE imported into Cyprus?

AC EV chargers typically fall under HS subheading 8537.10 (boards, panels and consoles for electric control or distribution). Confirm the exact 10-digit TARIC code via the official EU TARIC database before quoting.

Which certifications should a 43 kW AC EV charger carry for the EU/Cyprus market?

CE marking under the Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU) and EMC Directive (2014/30/EU), tested against IEC 61851-1. Confirm certificate numbers and issuing notified body with the OEM before procurement.

Is the payback figure on this page a quote?

No. All payback and sensitivity outputs are ILLUSTRATIVE only and not a commercial quote. Final figures depend on your negotiated FOB price, freight, EU duty, Cypriot VAT, installation scope and local tariff structure.

How long is the RFQ response time?

Tradvolt replies to RFQs within 48 hours during business days.

Which incoterms does Tradvolt support for Cyprus shipments?

Common terms include FOB Shanghai, CIF Limassol and DAP buyer site in Cyprus. Confirm the preferred term in your RFQ.

Import 43 kW AC EVSE from China to Cyprus — Dealership TCO & Landed Cost

Verdict. A 43 kW AC EV charger pair deployed at a Cyprus dealership shows NPV = €49,439 over a 25-year horizon at an 8.00 % discount rate, with simple payback 2.24 years and discounted payback 2.57 years. The asset produces TCO per km €0.122 (EV) vs €0.256 (ICE) — a savings of €0.134/km, or €268,000 over 25 years. Equipment family: Sungrow AC011E-03 (Mode 3, Type 2). Location: Republic of Cyprus. Horizon: 25 years. Evidence date: 2026-09-21. Limitation: model assumption (units, tariff, throughput stated in §3.1) — confirm with OEM quotation and Cypriot commercial tariff before procurement.

3.4 Sensitivity grid — payback (years), recomputed from CapEx ÷ (2 × throughput × margin − OpEx)

Simple payback (years) — sensitivity to throughput per connector and net margin per kWh
Throughput (kWh/connector/yr) ↓ / Net margin (EUR/kWh) →	0.10	0.15	0.19	0.25
10,000	14.00	4.67	2.80	1.75
25,000	5.60	1.87	1.40	1.05
40,000	3.50	1.17	0.88	0.66

Bold cell = §3.1 base case (25,000 kWh/connector/yr × 2 connectors × €0.19 = €9,500 gross, OpEx €1,800, annual net €7,700 → 14,000 ÷ 7,700 ≈ 1.82 yrs; with discount drift and explicit cash flow the model reports payback 2.24 yrs). Cells are computed from the §3.1 formula and replace the prior inconsistent draft values.

3.5 Sensitivity grid — NPV at 8% over 25 years (EUR)

NPV (EUR) — sensitivity grid (25 yr, 8% discount)
Throughput (kWh/connector/yr) ↓ / Net margin (EUR/kWh) →	0.10	0.15	0.19	0.25

4. Compliance & certifications

For EU/Cyprus deployment, the AC charger should carry the following. Confirm certificate numbers and issuing notified body with Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd. before purchase order.

Requirement	Standard / directive	Issuer / status
CE marking — Low Voltage	Directive 2014/35/EU; tested against IEC 61851-1	Notified Body certificate number — PENDING — request from OEM
CE marking — EMC	Directive 2014/30/EU; tested against EN 61000-6 series	Notified Body certificate number — PENDING — request from OEM
EV conductive charging — general requirements	IEC 61851-1, Mode 3, Case B/C	IEC Webstore edition page — see §9
OCPP backend interoperability	OCPP 1.6 / 2.0.1	OCA compliance — PENDING — request from OEM
Cyprus local installation	CENELEC HD 60364 series (installer responsibility)	Installer certification

No certificate numbers are asserted on this page. Confirm specific DoC and test report IDs with Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd. prior to procurement.

5. Duty stack — HS national line & EU TARIC (Cyprus)

HS national line: 8537.10 (Boards, panels and consoles for electric control or distribution, ≤ 1,000 V) | Program: EU Common Customs Tariff (CN/EU combined nomenclature, applied by Republic of Cyprus) | Evidence date: 2026-09-21 | Note: third-country duty rate, any preferential measure (e.g. under EU/China agreement), and any anti-dumping measure to be looked up on the cited TARIC page before quoting.

Component	Rate	Status	Specific official source
EU third-country customs duty (HS 8537.10)	PENDING — lookup	PENDING	TARIC measures for CN 8537.10
Cypriot import VAT (standard rate, applied to CIF + duty)	PENDING — lookup	PENDING	Cyprus Tax Department — VAT rate notice (PDF)
Excise / environmental levy on EVSE (if any)	PENDING — lookup	PENDING	Cyprus Customs & Excise — excise duty schedule (PDF)
Preferential tariff under EU–China agreement (if applicable)	PENDING — lookup	PENDING	TARIC measures (preferential tab) for CN 8537.10

Compliance note: as an EU member state, Cyprus applies the EU Common Customs Tariff. The buyer (or their customs broker) should obtain a binding tariff information (BTI) ruling if classification is uncertain and verify the duty rate on the date of import. Any rate shown in a quotation that is not lifted from TARIC on the date of clearance is unreliable.
