Import Vehicle Into USA From Denmark

Importing Vehicles Into The USA From Denmark

International car shipping between America and European countries is common. Americans often have to go to the European nation of Denmark for work and business purposes. Similarly, people in this Nordic European nation relocate temporarily or permanently to the US. As a result, these travelers at some point bring in cars between locations.

Unfortunately, seas separate Europe and America. So, to import a vehicle into the USA from Denmark, you need air or water transport. An International car carrier can help with the transport. Read on to find out what the dispatching process involves.

1. *Prices and times are estimated. They can vary depending on the season and the type of motor.
2. *Save the ground transport cost by delivering the four-wheeler to the nearest port.
3. *Allow an additional 10 days to process the documents.
4. *Prices are for 1 car in a dedicated 20ft container. This is the safest and most reliable way to transport a vehicle internationally. Other items may be included in the container to help save you money when moving.
5. *Using the RoRo (roll on, roll off) method is less expensive and shipments can be completed in fewer days. Contact us now for a free RoRo quote.

Consider The US Regulation On Four-Wheeler Bring In

The US Customs Border Protection has strict regulations governing the importation of vehicles into the US. These are the emissions standards set by the EPA and the safety and bumper standards set by the Department of Transport (DOT). Foreign cars not specifically manufactured for sale in the North American market hardly ever conform to the set standards. While modifications can be done before entry at the US ports, the process is extremely expensive and does not work for all four-wheelers. If not modified, such mobile can only be hauled temporarily. In other cases, they are exported back or destroyed.

There are exceptions to the strict EPA and DOT car procurement guidelines. For example, four-wheelers older than 25 years old need not comply with all the emissions standards. For more information on the motor hauling guidelines, visit the US Customs and Border Protection website.

Dispatch Requirements In The Area

When you delivery an auto from Denmark, it is deregistered from the Danish Register of Motor Vehicles. Once it is deregistered, you can claim a refund on part of the original tax registration. To do so, follow the following steps;

• The first step of this process is having your car inspected by SKAT.
• Then request a valuation from SKAT. Note that, for you to request a valuation, the inspections must have been done in the past four weeks.
• Return the number plates to a plates provider or motor registry office.
• Submit documentation of the hauling acquired in the second step.

SKAT refunds the four-wheeler registration tax in about three weeks. Submit the proof of motor ownership if you are not in the Danish Register of Motor Vehicles. If the motor is bought in connection with the shifting: submit an invoice, a purchase agreement, or a sale note.

Carefully Choose A Shifting Firm

When it comes to international shipping, you have to be careful with whom you entrust your ride. You do not want a situation where you wave off a vehicle from the port and that becomes the last you see of it. Look for shippers that have a solid track record, are trustworthy, professional, and most of all, have experience transporting motors from Denmark to the USA.

US-based companies who provide the service are your best option. They are familiar with the US customs regulations. Also, they have better shipping equipment and have transport routes all over the country. That is, they can transport your car from the port to your doorstep or a warehouse near you.

Cost Of Procurement Four-Wheeler Between Locations

The cost of delivery between locations is dependent on several factors, e.g. hauling and export duty. The customs duty you pay is dependent on the amount paid or payable for the car. To know the exact amount, you are expected to pay, contact the customs offices in both countries.

The next addition to the total cost is the shipping cost. The cost of shipping is determined by;

• Ports on the west coast (Pacific Ocean) are farther away from the area compared to ports on the east coast (Atlantic Ocean).
• Method of shipping. Shipping can either be via air or water. The most affordable shipping means of transport is When you choose water transport, the options are container shipping or RORO shipping. Generally, container shipping is more expensive and considered more secure. However, RORO shipping is equally as secure, convenient, and cheap. The motors are rolled into the vessel and tightly secured on the decks. These vessels are water-tight and air-tight. So, the cars are protected from harsh weather conditions.

That is what you need to know to import a vehicle into the USA from Denmark. Understanding the procurement regulations is a crucial part. Hiring a professional shipping company is equally procurement. Visit this page, or call us for an instant quote.
