TÜV and HU inspection in Germany is mandatory for every registered vehicle. Every car on German roads must pass the HU — Hauptuntersuchung — every two years. Most people call it “the TÜV,” even though TÜV is only one of several organizations authorized to carry out the technical inspection.

And if your HU sticker has expired, every police stop can become a very expensive conversation.

US Auto Tariffs: Impact on the German Automotive Industry
US auto tariffs are here — and the consequences for the German automotive industry are immediate, structural, and far-reaching. The Trump administration has imposed tariffs of 25 percent on all imported vehicles entering the United States, placing Germany’s export-driven carmakers directly in the crosshairs.
