Key considerations of importing in Hungary.
Importing to Debrecen, Hungary is little different than importing to any country. If the vehicle has a catalytic converter then you are eligible for duty free import of your vehicle only if you have a valid Hungarian Residence Permit. Thus, it is only possible if you are staying in the city on a long term basis. Additionally, it is better that the vehicle that you are importing is less than 4 years old as any vehicle older than that has to undergo tests which is billed to you. Thus, you can factor in the cost if you are importing an older vehicle. You might be asked to get the technical modifications on the vehicle so that it can clear the tests. After the custom clearances are completed, you will get a Hungarian Registration number and now you can drive through all the countries in EU.
Needed documentation.
For a successful and smooth clearance, you will need to submit the documents such as:
- Signed value declaration.
- Original bill of purchase.
- Bill of Lading.
- Proof of ownership- driving license, passport.
- Residence/work permit.
- Original title deed.
- Liability insurance and bank guarantee.
- Hungarian Power of Attorney.
These are some documents that are specific to the Hungarian requirements and that is one of the reasons that you need the assistance of A1 Auto Transport to assist you with getting the documents. They will need to file the intentions to export with US Customs and Border Protection and the shipping company will handle the details. On either the ports, identifications documents and authorized Power Of Attorney has to be provided, depending upon if the owner is present or not.
You will need to choose between RORO and container shipping and that would directly affect the cost. Thus, it is best to discuss the details of the transportation with A1 Auto Transport Company. To know more about the import restrictions and eligibility, browse further at Embassy of Hungary.
Conclusion.
In order to ship your vehicle to Hungary, make sure to follow all of the guidelines. This means gathering all of the appropriate documents and also using an experience international shipping company.
