• Bill of vehicle purchase.
• S insurance on the vehicle.
• Proof of purchase and paid taxes.
• Title deed.
• Vehicle registration.
• Work permit/visa authorized by the Irish government.

Another key aspect of vehicle import is that you are required by law to get the vehicle registered at the Irish Department of Transport within 180 days of your residence in the country. Before it can be locally registered in Galway, all taxes and registration fee has to be paid.

Freight shipping methods.

Opting for the right shipping method is essential as it affects the total price of your vehicle import. Thus, give careful consideration to each method before you select the one that suits your requirements. The methods are:

Container shipping.

Your vehicle is loaded into a twenty feet or forty feet shipping container and secured in place to minimize movement during transit. This method is safer and more secure, if you have a vintage car or a luxury vehicle to transport from USA to Ireland. Additionally, if you want to put personal or household belongings in the rest of the space, you are allowed to do so.

Roll-On and Roll-Off (RORO).

This is the most common ways of shipping vehicles but only an empty vehicle can be shipped. At the U.S port it is driven on the ship deck and harnessed in the parking bay. When it reaches the port of Galway, it is driven off the ship. Additionally, there are other restrictions that have to be followed. You have to leave the vehicle jack, spare tire and keys within but air conditioning gas has to be removed completely. In addition, it is better to clean the interiors of the vehicle to fasten the clearances.
