When deciding on a sea port to import your vehicle to, you will find that Croatia has several to choose from; Port of Split, Port of Bakar, and Port of Dubrovnik. You will have two options to choose from when importing; Roll On/ Roll Off or container shipping. When you choose freight shipping to Croatia, you will find that the transit time is less than a week due to the fact the ships are sailing from Croatia to the USA all the time. Importing a vehicle is fairly hassle free and the duty is only 8% on Non- EU vehicles, however, there are other taxes and levies due at some point before your vehicle is transported. If you plan to stay longer than three months, you will need to register your vehicle.
Documents Needed to Import.
If you want to ensure a smooth importing transaction, you will need to gather up some important documents that will be used to verify all your information. The list of documents and your request to import will need to be submitted to the Croatia Customs Department of before arriving. You will need to submit the documents to the port in the United States that you will be exiting from as well. Documents you will need are:
- Invoice of purchase.
- Title to the vehicle.
- Bill of Lading.
- Submission of the Homologation form for the E25 Certificate.
- Notary authorized sales contract.
In order to make sure that the vehicle that was made in the United States meets all the safety and environmental rules and regulations of the European Union, the vehicle will need to be modified. The Homologation certificate states that. Croatia does not have the facilities to modify vehicles so this will need to be done in the United States, Spain, or Germany before the importing can take place. A1 Auto Transport service can help you with this if your vehicle needs to be modified.
Preparing your vehicle.
Before your vehicle can be shipped, you will need to do a few things to prepare it, such as:
- Clean the vehicle out in order to avoid being quarantined.
- Fill the gas tank up to one-fourth of a tank.
- Look at your vehicle and note any dents you see. Have a verified signature of a shipping agent that verified all of these dents before your import.
- Obtain insurance.
- Remove any personal belongings.
