This involves mention of Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), engine and chassis numbers, make, model and age. There is 20% VAT on all vehicles that are imported.
Shipping methods to select.
Although air shipping is the quickest way to ship, it is not feasible as it is extremely expensive. You have the option of selecting RORO or container shipping for your vehicle as a means of freight shipping method to Mykolaiv. If you only have a single vehicle to ship, it is best to choose RORO has it is cost effective and requires you to ship the vehicle empty. This means you need to remove the air conditioning gas, personal items and steam clean the interiors before shipping.
Conversely, container shipping is more expensive, but it offers higher amount of protection to your vehicle and other personal items that you are shipping together. All of your household goods/personal items are put in 20 feet or 40 feet container and sealed for transit.
