Car Shipping Varna
Varna is known as the largest seaside resort in the country of Bulgaria. It is also the third biggest city. It is also a significant tourist destination and a starting point for the Northern Black Sea Coast resorts.
Details and Methods to Evaluate
Bulgaria is currently a part of the EU, meaning the same rules as other EU countries apply when MOVING. You must clear the vehicle through customs under the relevant regulations. You would have to pay the VAT, take out the insurance, and get a verification of origin. You must also get it inspected, tested for roadworthiness, and registered. Even though most of the regulations you would need to follow are the same, there are some specifications for Bulgaria alone.
The customs of Varna require that imported autos be declared as temporary imports. You will also have to pay a guarantee for the car to get clearance from the Customs. The guarantee amount depends on the year, make, model, bhp, and kW of the engine. If it stays within Bulgaria for more than a year, you will have to renew the temporary import as it is for one year. To know eligibility details, import regulations, and other information, contact the Embassy of Bulgaria.

Required documents
Like other EU countries, Bulgaria also demands some particular documentation before allowing you to import. The documents are as follows:
- Registration and ownership proof.
- Valid visa.
- Bulgarian national driver’s license.
- International policy of insurance.

Duties and taxes
The amount of taxes and duties on imported autos depends on the specifications, the age, and the country of origin. If it is imported from a country part of the EU, it will not have import taxes. However, if it’s not, import duties can get up to 17% or more of the fair market value.
The standard VAT is 20%, calculated by determining the value of the goods. Insurance costs and the import duty can also be due. Additionally, excise taxes may also be calculated if the authorities of Bulgaria determine them after inspection. The diplomats are allowed to import one vehicle free of taxes and duties.
Requirements for Moving
Confirm that your agent is adequately familiar with the requirements for international delivery. The documentation has to be submitted to the Customs and Border Protection Agency at least 72 hours before the exportation. Generally, you should allow more time before that in case of glitches.
Make sure that your automobile is eligible. If there is a lien against the car, you must get the lienholder's written approval to ship it outside of the USA. The eligibility laws are compiled within the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations. You must present copies of your driver’s license, passport, and proof of ownership for the Bulgarian Customs. For further information regarding the taxes, you can visit Customs for specifications.
