Some of the essential documentation includes:

• Bill of Sale (location, date, vehicle price).

It is essential to get your vehicle registered within the first 6 months of your stay after the customs has cleared the car. This is done after the vehicle registration tax has been paid. The tax is calculated based on the value of the vehicle.

Means of shipping and transportation.

There are two viable methods of shipping your vehicle and these are:

Roll-On and Roll-Off.

As it is the cheapest method, it is the most preferred one. You will need to get the clearances from the US port and then the vehicle will be driven on the ship deck, harnessed and fixed in place to minimize damage during transit. At the destination Port of Dublin, your vehicle will be driven off and after customs is cleared, you can take the delivery. However, there are some requirements that need to be fulfilled when you are sending the car by RORO. These include:

• Keep only spare keys, spare tire, jack and floor mats inside the vehicle.
• 1/4th tank of fuel is allowed.
• Remove air conditioning gas.
• No personal accessories or goods within the vehicle.
• Steam clean it to avoid quarantine at Dublin port.

Container Service.

It has its advantages but it is much more expensive than RORO. That is why if you need an extra cover of security for your luxury vehicle, select it. Your car along with other household goods are packed inside the container and sealed. It will arrive faster to Dublin and is a more trusted method.
