What are the costs to import a car from usa to europe? specify taxes and shippment .?

Answer 1

Depends upon the destination country. Each European country has its own taxes and fees. Typically you'll pay VAT at whatever the national rate is. On top of that, some countries have additional taxes payable and then there are import duties on top of that.

Shipping charges are based upon the method of shipment. Roll on - Roll off is the cheapest but the most likely to result in damage. A typical vehicle shipped from the East Coast would cost between $500 and $1,000. The rate is based on "measurement tons" which is actually based on size, not weight.

Next comes container shipments, usually a flat fee per container so it depends upon how many vehicles you can squeeze into the container. Typical fees run around $3,500 per container and you can usually get at least 2 vehicles in a container. Properly braced, damage is unlikely unless the container is dropped of course, which DOES happen.

Air shipment is the most expensive by far and is reserved for the hyper-wealthy shipping their toys as the costs are 10 times as much as sea rates or more. Fees are based upon weight and size.
