Popular Shipping Albania Ports

While Albania has a few ports that can handle overseas auto transport, most cars shipped from the U.S. to Albania arrive at the Port of Durrës, which is the largest and most active port in the country. It’s located on the Adriatic Sea and is well connected to major cities like Tirana, Vlorë, and Shkodër.

On the U.S. side, cars are commonly shipped from major ports like:

• New York, NY
• Baltimore, MD
• Miami, FL
• Houston, TX
• Los Angeles, CA

We’ll help you choose the most cost-effective and convenient port based on your location.

Automobile Delivery Methods

• Roll On/Roll Off (Ro-Ro) Shipping: This is the most common method of transportation that most customers choose to transport their vehicles. This is a method of sea shipping where vehicles are driven on and off carrier ships using their wheels. Ro-Ro sea vessels are equipped with ramps that aid in moving cars on and off the ship. Essentially, it is the best delivery method for any item with wheels or can be safely placed on and off wheels. It is the most convenient and cost-effective way of getting your vehicle to Albania.
• Container Car Shipping: This is a popular shipping/exporting method choice for those who want to send some of their personal items along with their cars to Albania. The vehicle is either collected at one’s home or is delivered to a depot. Depending on whichever price point is more desirable, customers can choose private containers, which usually run 20ft or 40ft in size, and use the leftover space to pack personal items in, or customers may choose to share containers with someone else’s vehicle. This method is slightly more expensive, as more safety checkpoints and procedures must be met.
• Car Transportation: This is a land-based and land-locked delivery method, so it generally takes the most time. Cars are insured and routinely inspected throughout the trip, but they must wait for a pending shipping date to Albania before they begin their journey.

Remember that the vehicle must somehow be hauled to a U.S. shipping port before it can begin preparations for shipment to another country like Albania. In some instances, you may be allowed to drive your vehicle to a local port; this will help you cut back on any further expenses.

What to Know Before Shipping Your Car?

Car shipping to Albania requires a few steps and some preparation, but it’s not complicated when you have the right help. Albania has its own rules for vehicle imports, so it’s important to understand them before you ship your vehicle. In preparing to ship a vehicle to Albania, certain paperwork must be handled.

Documents You’ll Need:

• The original title of the vehicle (must be in your name)
• A bill of sale or proof of purchase
• Passport or photo ID
• A copy of your shipping contract
• Customs clearance documents once your vehicle arrives in Albania

Make sure your vehicle has no unpaid liens and is fully paid off, or you’ll need extra paperwork to prove ownership. Our team at A-1 Auto Transport will guide you through all these details so you don’t have to worry.

Visit the Albania Customs Page for more information regarding this matter. Be sure to reference this page to understand better any limitations and/or restrictions you may face upon moving or transporting goods such as automobiles to Albania.

*Keep in mind that the banks in Albania are closed on both Saturdays and Sundays.

*Any external or non-permanent parts of your automobile should be removed before shipment, as they may cause problems during a long delivery process. Many companies will also ask you to clean out the vehicle's inside wholly, especially if you choose to use a RoRo transport service (more on that soon).

Customs and Import Rules

Albania does allow vehicle imports, but there are a few rules to be aware of:

• Vehicle Age Limits: Vehicles older than a certain age may not be allowed. Generally, newer vehicles with lower emissions are preferred.
• Taxes and Duties: Import taxes, VAT, and customs duties will apply. These are based on the vehicle’s value, engine size, and type.
• Registration Requirements: Once your vehicle arrives, you’ll need to register it with the local authorities.

We’ll provide guidance on all these steps and help you understand the total cost so you’re not caught off guard.

Upon Arrival In Albania

Once you arrive at your final destination, certain procedures must be followed to ensure the safe arrival of your vehicle in the country.

• Pay the appropriate customs duty and all taxes and fees associated with the shipment.
• Have modifications applied and tested if necessary.
• Apply for identification plate registration and approval with the Bangladesh government.

Once you arrive, acquiring more information regarding driving rules and regulations in Albania will undoubtedly be in your favor.

• Driving in Albania: You’ll want to know Albania's traffic and driving rules as quickly as possible. The roads are not well maintained. Roads are dimly lit, or not lit at all, and potholes are quite commonly encountered. Pedestrians often jaywalk. Furthermore, you might need to outfit your car with winter tires to drive through the snow, ice, and sleet safely. This is especially true if you will be moving to the mountainous northern region of the country.

Any further questions and concerns can be directed to the U.S. Embassy in Albania.

Hauling Of Heavy Equipment & Oversized Cargo

The process of hauling heavy equipment and oversized cargo overseas isn’t a job that just anyone can accomplish. It takes knowledge of import policies, experience, and equipment to make the delivery happen. So if you need professional shipping services to ship your cargo from the U.S. to Albania, A1 Auto Transport has you covered.

The size and weight of your cargo are two of the most significant deciding factors on the overall price you’ll pay for hauling heavy equipment. Not all cargo deemed oversized or heavy equipment fits into specific dimensions, and in some cases, you may need to remove parts or disassemble the piece of equipment to ensure it is shipped safely. Nevertheless, there isn’t much we can’t ship. Here are some examples of the heavy equipment we have shipped before-

• Farm Equipment, including tractors, balers, harvesters, backhoes, etc.
• Construction Equipment, including bulldozers, forklifts, dumpers, rock breakers, etc.
• Mining equipment includes loaders, excavators, haulers, etc.
• Paving equipment includes pavers, planers, compactors, graders, reclaimers, etc.
• Agricultural Equipment, including tractors, combine harvesters, plows, spreaders, drills, mowers, planers, etc.

Of course, the list of heavy equipment and oversized cargo we can ship doesn’t end there. If you are uncertain if the heavy equipment you need to have sent to Albania can be hauled, call us. We’re sure we can be of assistance.
