Car Shipping Nicosia
Nicosia is by far the largest city located on the island of Cyprus. It has its location near the center of the Mesaoria plain on the Pedieos River. It’s also the seat of the government and capital of the Republic of Cyprus. Today, the northern part of the capital is the capital of the Northern Cyprus which is a de-facto state considered to be duly occupied Cypriot territory. Nicosia is the financial capital of Cyprus and also the main international business hub.
There are different territories in Cyprus that could be easily reached thanks to the well-developed roadway structure. Over half of the roads on the island are paved and it’s safe to say that traveling is relatively easy with a regular vehicle. There are a lot of improvements that are going on in the country and it continues to progress. It’s a thriving place for tourism and a lot of people come to reside in the country.
However, it helps to have a good international auto shipping service to complete the process as it is difficult to complete the process on your own. To start with, you need to get the T2L and T2LF documentation and submit it to Cyprus Customs Service. We’ll do that. To know the cost of the transportation, you need to add the taxes which include 15% Ad Valorem and 19% VAT on the purchase price of the vehicle in addition to the regular excise duty.
