Car Shipping Trondheim
Norway’s third largest city Trondheim functions as the administrative and financial center of the Sør-Trøndelag County. It is situated on the shores of the scenic Trondheimsfjord, where the River Nidelva begins. If you intend living here for a few months or a few years, it is essential to have the requisite residential or work permit. There are additional paperwork and procedures to complete if you want to import your personal vehicle from USA. As Norway is a part of European Union, and thus, there are stringent emissions laws that have to be adhered to. It is best to know about them and if your vehicle does not adhere to it, get the modifications done in USA before you ship.
Of late, the import laws and regulations have become more efficient as Norway has a considerable population of expatriates working and studying in different cities. You are required to submit the pertinent documents to the Customs department of Norway. These documents need to be verified and cleared before you can drive around your vehicle in Trondheim.
