Ship Car To Helsinki

Move Your Vehicle To Helsinki

On the shore of the Gulf of Finland, Helsinki is not just the capital of the nation but the major center of education, culture, finance, and research. Counted among the top European cities, most of the foreign companies in Finland are located in Helsinki. With plenty of ports on the Baltic Sea, the Helsinki port is the largest in the country. The economy of Finland depends upon the ocean-bound commerce.

However, if you are moving to Helsinki for business or leisure, it is best to hire the services of an international auto shipping service, like the A1 Auto Transport service. We are conversant with Finland's shipping and trade regulations and can quickly assist the move.

Ways for auto transportation.

When you discuss the method of shipping with an auto transport service, we’d like to tell you that there are two options including:

• Roll-on/Roll-Off: The car is driven over the deck, driven off the freight ship, and secured on the open deck along with other vehicles.
• Container shipping: Your vehicle will be secured inside a container of 20 feet or 40 feet. It will be secured and lifted by the crane and unloaded the same way. Due to the exclusivity of it, the cost is higher, but the vehicle is protected better.

As ports in the US and Finland have to handle the shipment, ensure that RORO is accepted. Additionally, you must decide whether you’d like to drive the vehicle to the port and take delivery in Helsinki or authorize door-to-port transportation by A1 Auto Transport service.

Eligibility for Hauling an automobile.

• Apart from the title deed of the vehicle, you are required by law to submit the Bill of Lading. If the vehicle has a lien, written documents and authorization to export the car must be submitted.
• Driver’s license and passport of the owner.
• S insurance documents and proof of Finnish insurance are needed.
• Extra set of car keys.
• Winterization of the car if shipping in winter.
• No valuables or personal belongings are inside the car.

There are instances when you can import the car to Helsinki without customs duties. This is not only possible for VIPs and diplomats, but Finnish regulations allow one vehicle to be freely imported if you own and use the car for at least six months. Additionally, there is a monetary limit on the vehicle’s value, so if exceeded, you must pay the import duty. The car will have to comply with the USA and European emission standards or you will need to spend money for modifications that will be required for Finnish custom clearances.

As you might not be familiar with all aspects of Finnish customs regulations, working with an experienced auto shipping service like A1 Auto Transport Company helps streamline and process the dealings faster at both ports.
