Steps to Take Before Moving.
There is a lot of paperwork to take care of when you are moving. Some of the documents that have to be produced for verification and authentication include:
- Car Registration.
- Original purchase invoice.
- Title deed in owner’s name.
- Driving license/Passport of the owner.
- Residence/Work permit.
To know more about the documents and other details that are needed, you can browse more at the Albania Customs Page. It will give you all of the information that you need, including limitations and eligibility criteria for moving. In case you choose to ship by Roll-on/Roll-Off method, you will need to clean it from the inside and remove all accessories and air conditioning gas so that there is no chance of any accident. It helps to ensure that the vehicle is not quarantined and hasten the delivery process. You can refer to Title 19 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations to know the eligibility of your automobile.
Ways to Haul.
You will need to drive to the port or ask Service for ‘door-to-port’ service. This is provided at an additional cost. There are two main ways to move, apart from air moving. These include containers and RORO. As mentioned before, some limitations and restrictions are connected with RORO. It is the most affordable method. When it comes to the container method, it is safer but more expensive. Your car is harnessed and secured within the 20-foot or 40-foot container, and other personal goods are packed within the container. After it is moved to one of the Georgian ports, then it is hauled by land to reach there. It is insured for transit, so the least damage is done.
After it arrives, you will need to pay the required customs duties and other relevant taxes. If your vehicle needs modifications, it will be tested and inspected. Approval and identification of license plate registration are needed. It is good to get conversant with the driving rules in Albania before you take the car on the roads. Jaywalking is common and streetlights might not be on all roads. To know more about import and other laws, contact the U.S. Embassy in Albania.
