# Irish Used Car UK Import Cost Calculator > Irish Used Car UK Import Cost Calculator is a paid API for AI agents from irish-auto-arbitrage-production.up.railway.app, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-15). Converts a UK car's GBP asking price into a full EUR landed cost for Ireland, including shipping, customs duty, import VAT, VRT, NOx levy, and a cost buffer, with optional Irish market margin estimate. ## Facts - Endpoint: GET https://irish-auto-arbitrage-production.up.railway.app/api/v1/a2a/import-calculator?utm_source=zero.xyz - Price: $0.01/call - Payment: x402 - Status: unknown - Last checked: 2026-10-15 - Activations on Zero: 0 - Tags: x402 - Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/irish-used-car-uk-import-cost-calculator-7a070abf - Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_Y9Zi4bgZrzIVbELsd1vVK Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently. ## How to call it through Zero Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`): ```sh zero fetch --capability irish-used-car-uk-import-cost-calculator-7a070abf ``` Example prompt: I'm thinking of importing a 2021 Volkswagen Golf petrol from the UK for £18,500 — it has 45,000 km on the clock, CO2 of 128 g/km, and NOx of 35 mg/km. Can you work out the full landed cost in Ireland, assuming 10% customs duty and 23% import VAT? ## When to prefer this Use this endpoint when you need a complete, all-in landed cost estimate for importing a specific UK car to Ireland, including statutory costs like VRT and NOx levy that are unique to the Irish market. Prefer this over the sibling VRT-only endpoint when you need to account for all import costs together. Use this when you also want to see the margin potential against Irish market pricing for a specific make/model/year/mileage combination. ## Known failure modes - Missing required fields (uk_price_gbp, co2_g_km, fuel_type) returns a validation error - Invalid fuel_type string outside expected enum values may produce incorrect VRT band - Customs duty and import VAT default to 0 if not explicitly set, so caller must supply the correct percentages for their situation - Results are estimates and may differ from actual Revenue/VRT assessments - Exchange rate defaults to service rate if gbp_eur_rate not provided, which may be stale - No market margin returned if make, model, year, or mileage_km are omitted ## How this service works UK-to-Ireland car import landed cost and margin - Use to judge a UK import: converts the GBP price and adds shipping, customs duty, import VAT, VRT, NOx levy and a cost buffer to give the landed cost in EUR. Provide make, model, year and mileage to also get the expected margin against the Irish market median. Duty and VAT default to 0 and must be set by the caller; results are estimates. ## Output Returns a breakdown of the full EUR landed cost for a UK car imported to Ireland, including the converted GBP price, shipping, customs duty, import VAT, VRT band estimate, NOx levy, and a cost buffer. If make, model, year, and mileage are provided, also returns the Irish market median price and the estimated margin the importer could realise. ## Request schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "object", "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema", "required": [ "input" ], "properties": { "input": { "type": "object", "required": [ "type", "method" ], "properties": { "type": { "type": "string", "const": "http" }, "method": { "enum": [ "GET", "HEAD", "DELETE" ], "type": "string" }, "queryParams": { "type": "object", "required": [ "uk_price_gbp", "co2_g_km", "fuel_type" ], "properties": { "make": { "type": "string", "default": "Toyota", "example": "Toyota", "examples": [ "Toyota" ], "description": "Optional; with model, year and mileage_km enables the margin calculation." }, "year": { "type": "integer", "default": 2020, "example": 2020, "examples": [ 2020 ], "description": "Optional model year." }, "model": { "type": "string", "default": "Corolla", "example": "Corolla", "examples": [ "Corolla" ], "description": "Optional." }, "co2_g_km": { "type": "integer", "default": 125, "example": 125, "examples": [ 125 ], "description": "WLTP CO2 emissions in g/km (drives the VRT band)." }, "fuel_type": { "enum": [ "Petrol", "Diesel", "Electric", "Petrol Hybrid", "Diesel Hybrid", "Petrol Plug-in Hybrid", "Diesel Plug-in Hybrid", "petrol", "diesel", "electric", "petrol hybrid", "diesel hybrid", "petrol plug-in hybrid", "diesel plug-in hybrid" ], "type": "string", "default": "Diesel", "example": "Diesel", "examples": [ "Diesel" ], "description": "Fuel type, e.g. Petrol, Diesel, Electric, Petrol Hybrid, Petrol Plug-in Hybrid." }, "nox_mg_km": { "type": "number", "default": 40, "example": 40, "examples": [ 40 ], "description": "NOx mg/km for the NOx levy.
