Prior to shipping.
Before you ship your vehicle to Mitrovica, you will require sending in the documents and other details of the vehicle to A1 Auto Transport service. One of our shipping agents will ensure that they go over all aspects of the move with you so that you are aware of the cost and processes. You will need to notify the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency before you ship out the vehicle from your city.
You cannot ship the vehicle directly to Mitrovica as Kosovo is a landlocked country. Thus, the vehicle will first be offloaded at the Albanian Port of Durrës. From there you will need to ship it by land to Mitrovica. It is important to be there when the vehicle arrives or give us the Power of Attorney so that one of our shipping gents can collect it on your behalf. We will arrange for land transportation to Kosovo. Additionally, the vehicle will need third party insurance from a local Kosovo insurance company before it can cross over to Kosovo. To get the clearance permit from the Kosovo Customs service, it takes about 5 days to a week.
Essential documentation process.
The Customs at USA and at Kosovo are both going to need copies of these documents. It is important to carry the originals for verification and submit the validated copies. These include:
- Title certificate.
- Original purchase invoice of the vehicle with details.
- Proof of ownership.
- Work permit/residence visa.
Other essential regulations that have to be followed include:
- You have to pay the standard custom duty of 11.5%.
- Vehicles over 6 years cannot be imported to Kosovo.
- Based on the evaluated price, there is a 16% tax.
