Importing Vehicles Into The USA From Denmark

International car shipping between America and European countries is everyday. 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 from Denmark into the USA, 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.

Examples Of Cost & Time For Haul

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 one 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. *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 and 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 explicitly 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 costly and does not work for all four-wheelers. If not modified, such mobile can only be hauled temporarily. In other cases, they are exported or destroyed.

There are exceptions to the strict EPA and DOT car procurement guidelines. For example, four-wheelers older than 25 must 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, to request a valuation, the inspections must have been done in the past four weeks.
• Return the number plates to a plate 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

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

US-based companies that 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. They can transport your car from the port to your doorstep or a warehouse near you.

Cost Of Procurement Four-Wheeler Between Locations

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

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 be via either air or water. The most affordable shipping means of transport is 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 safe, 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.
