Car Shipping Durres
The panoramic city of Durres is Albania's second-largest city. Located nearly 33 km from Tirana, it is one of the hubs of a stable economy and is home to Albania’s main port, Port of this city. After withdrawing from communism, the country is on a path of promising growth. With rapid development and opportunities for new employment, a growing number of expatriates are moving to Durres.
However, vehicle imports have increased over the years, and whether for commercial or personal use, proper paperwork is required while shipping any vehicle to the city. This is one of the reasons why collaborating with an internationally licensed and insured auto hauler such as A-1 Auto Transport Service is important. Numerous aspects need to be considered, like customs duties, tariffs, and specifications laid down by the Albanian government. To have better clarity on these aspects, browse the Embassy of Albania.

Transportation of vehicle
Shipping your car during the dry summers is preferable because of the rainy winters, which could cause it to be delayed. However, due to Durres's status as a busy port city, we can get the car to you much more quickly. There is a mountain of documentation that must be filed. But we will see to it that all of this is completed and that you avoid any delays at customs. We'll help you out at every turn to make sure the shipment goes off without a hitch. Before the delivery process can begin, you must file the proper paperwork and pay any applicable duties. It includes the tariffs from Title 189. Here are some examples of well-written papers:
- Owner’s passport and registration deed
- Permit of the residence
- Ownership proof of the vehicle
- Invoice associated with the purchase of a vehicle
- Bill of Lading
- Vehicle insurance
Procedures to follow
There are two basic methods through which vehicles are shipped abroad, namely, the Roll-on/Roll-off or RORO method. This is the more affordable method, and you can opt for it after adhering to the terms and conditions of it. These are:
- Steam clean your car to avoid the Albanian government’s quarantine
- Air conditioning gas removal
- Car accessories/spare parts removed
- Personal items need to be removed from within the interiors
However, when you choose RORO shipping, you must have a spare tire, floor mats, and jack. The vehicle will be harnessed for limited movement and secured so that it reaches the port safely. On reaching the port, it will be rolled off the ship.
The more personalized and expensive method is container shipping. Herein, the car, along with personal goods that need to be shipped, will be enclosed and locked within 20 feet or 40 feet containers and loaded onto the ship. To cut costs, you can share it with someone else. However, this is a more secure way of shifting, though more expensive. Irrespective of the chosen procedure, the vehicle will reach the Port of Durres safely when the A1 Auto Transport service is with you. Emission tests and customs duties in Albania need to be cleared before the vehicle is handed over only to the owners as listed by the Albanian government and transport authorities. Contact the Embassy of Albania for more information.
