Temporary And Permanent Vehicle Import.

You can import cars for personal use to the country, for 180 days without any special permit. This is possible only when the vehicle registration is in the name of the owner driving it. Also, only the owner and related family members are allowed to drive. You also need to have US company insurance and a driver’s license. Those wishing to settle in Portugal permanently as a returning citizen or for work require vehicle registration once the 6 months are up.

To do this, you need to get a residency permit first. The Portuguese authority requires car inspection and compliance with the country's highway standards. You must take the car to any authorized center here for inspection. The standards will vary depending on the model and vehicle make. The rules vary for collectibles and vintage cars. However, if a vehicle passes the European standards, it will likely do the same in the Portuguese scenario.

When applying for a driver's license and residency permit in Portugal, you have to surrender the original license from the USA. Unless it involves importing a brand-new car from outside Portugal, you have to pay the VAT. If you decide to sell it within a year, taxes become due. Hauling of one vehicle is allowed duty-free every five years.

Laws About The Import Of Autos.

In this country, the vehicles carry Documento Uníco Automóvel or ‘all-in-one’ cards. This card works for vehicle registration, logbook, and license plates. You have to keep this card inside your vehicle whenever you drive. The law requires you to carry the card; the owners require Portuguese license plates as a part of the formalities. Every document that you fill out for import and registration in the country is in Portuguese. To do this right customer care is in place, assisting you with the process. Navigating it in a foreign language is difficult especially when it comes to dealing with the internal bureaucracy. Thus, it is important to get help whenever required.

Two transport methods are prevalent for importing vehicles: Container Shipping and RORO. In the first, the vehicle and household personal goods will be inside a 20—or 40-foot container. In the other, the car drives on and off the ship on its own wheels. Contact the Embassy in Portugal to get further details about the import of vehicles.
