Car Shipping from Austria to USA

Import Vehicle into the USA from Austria

Importing a vehicle from overseas into the US is a task. It’s even more tasking if you import a car from an overseas landlocked country. Landlocked countries don’t have shorelines or ports where cargo ships can dock and get loaded from a harbor. For this reason, most clients find it difficult to import. You need a company with the resources, experience, and familiarity of the entire region of the land-locked country, including its neighboring countries that offer international serving ports.

In the case of Austria, most imports and exports are done by air. For luxurious vehicles, air freight can be opted for. However, the expense will be higher as airlifting cargo is just naturally expensive and aircraft don’t offer the same “cost pooling” as cargo ships do. Cargo vessels are large and therefore able to ship several hundred autos in one trip. This lowers the price per individual client as the overall fee is pooled together and shared by all clients moving.

How We Import

Arrangements to Closest Ports

Since the Republic of Austria is a landlocked country, moving through ocean freight has to involve crossing borders into countries with international serving ports. For clients opting to move by air, the closest cargo airline is identified, and then the second stage gets underway. For ocean freight, however, arrangements have to be made to haul to a coastal country. The coastal countries neighboring Austria include Germany to the North, and Slovenia & Italy to the south.

Foreign relations play a huge role in this, but the three countries; Germany, Slovenia, and Italy, have sound trade relations. Distance-wise, Slovenian and Italian ports are closer to Austria than German ports. Italian ports, on the other hand, are bigger than Slovenian, making it the most ideal coastal country to use.

Paperwork

The involvement of coastal countries in importing requires heavy paperwork. This includes cargo permits, taxes, customs, duties, and freight records. Our team, having done this for decades, will take the client through the entire process. We aim to involve our clients as much as possible to make them feel confident in our services.

So don’t worry; we will do all the heavy lifting.

For autos being airlifted straight from it, the paperwork is substantially less as no borders are crossed. The paperwork mostly consists of export documents, besides from normal inspection reports done by the car hauler.

Quotation

Once we have mapped out the entire process, we then go ahead and offer our clients a quote of the entire process. Normally, the quotation is dictated by the vehicle make and model, customs fees, duties, and taxes. Hauling to the coastal countries will add to the costs. The farther away the port is, the higher this expense will be. But we can advise you on the closest/cheapest port to use.

Moving by air, on the other hand, is rather straightforward. The air freight charges are reflected in the estimator and you are provided with the quote right from our site. We have a comprehensive expenditure calculator that will provide an estimated cost of the entire job in US dollars. The sensitivity of foreign relations, customs, duties, and currency, however, limits us from giving a perfect quotation, but we come quite close. Our estimated quotes are correct and realistic, with only a small chance of variation.

Moving

Once the mission is a go, the vehicles are hauled to the respective terminals. Upon arrival at the port or airport, a hauler inspection is done and a report is drafted. The autos are then loaded onto their respective vessels and they start making their way to you. A1-AT. provides real-time GPS tracking for clients to monitor their shipments in real-time.

Delivery

Upon arrival on US waters or soil, the vehicle is then delivered as per the agreed terms; door – door or terminal delivery.
