Ship Car To Warsaw

Move your Vehicle To Warsaw

Warsaw is the capital of Poland and the largest city. With the backdrop of the Carpathian Mountains, just 190 miles away, it is situated on the banks of the Vistula River that drains into the Baltic Sea. The city is the hub of trade, economy, business, and culture, and that is why there is a host of expatriates here on study or work visas.

It is incredibly convenient to have your own vehicle imported to Warsaw from the USA for faster commuting and staying independent. However, as with any auto shipment, you must file paperwork, adhere to regulations, and pay the requisite fees. When moving your vehicle, you need to consider the weather conditions in Poland. The winters are harsh and cold, while the summers are comparatively mild and a better time to ship.

Transportation methods

There are only two ways of freight shipping- Roll-on/Roll-Off (RORO) and Container shipping. Both of these methods are safe and commonly used ways for cargo shipping. However, container shipping is more expensive as your vehicle is secured and sealed within 20 20-foot or 40-foot shipping container. You are allowed to keep your personal belongings within the container.

RORO is the cheapest way to ship your vehicle to Warsaw. The car is secured on the open deck, and to avoid theft and pilferage, you are not allowed to keep any personal items. It is best to steam clean the vehicle before hauling and ensure that the car jack, floor mats, and spare keys are left within it.

Documentation for Auto-hauling

When you are relocating internationally to Poland, a host of documentation must be submitted and verified for the vehicle to enter Warsaw legally. Some of the essential documents include:

• Clear title deed.
• Bill of Lading.
• Purchase invoice with details of the car.
• Owner’s passport and driving license.
• Resident or work permit.

Your vehicle will be shipped to Gdynia, the Polish port, and then driven to Warsaw, which is about 200 miles away. Poland is part of the European Union and has the same assessment of levies and taxes. Diplomats and returning citizens returning to Warsaw qualify for tax exemptions and duty-free imports as the vehicle is considered a household good. To get an idea of the import duty on standard vehicles, it is 10% with VAT of about 23%. There is a border tax, which varies according to the engine capacity.

Additional considerations

Additionally, you must submit the documents and inform the Customs department about the ‘Import Declaration’ that you have owned the vehicle for over 6 months in the US before importing it to Warsaw. You can contact the Polish Customs Department for more information on eligibility, limitations, and other regulations governing auto imports.
