When preparing for an import, there is lots of paperwork that you will be responsible for. Paperwork will need to be submitted to the U.S Customs and Border Protection as well as the Romanian Customs Department. You will need to provide the following documentation:

Bill of Lading.
Vehicle registration from the United States.
Purchase invoice - when you bought your car.
Your work or resident permit for Romania.
A clear vehicle title.
Your passport.
Proof of insurance on your vehicle.

There may be a few restrictions as well as limitations, when it comes to importing your vehicle to Arad. You will want to hire A1 Auto Transport Service to handle the import for you. A1 Auto Transport Service will be able to provide guidance throughout the importing process from determining how much tax and duty you will pay to preparing your car for transport. You will need to provide proof that you have owned the vehicle for at least six months in the United States before you import it.

Shipping Information.

Importing a vehicle requires adhering to a host of regulations. You will need to pay a minimum import duty of 17% in addition to 24% VAT. The exact amount will be calculated on the basis of the vehicle’s evaluated value. Thus, the more expensive your vehicle is the higher the insurance will be, to ship it. Another factor that will determine how much you pay is the shipping method you choose.

The Roll On/ Roll Off shipping method is the most affordable way to ship a vehicle. You cannot have any personal belongings inside the vehicle during transport. Once your vehicle is rolled onto the ship, it will be parked inside of a bay on the deck and secured while being transported. You will need to remove the gas from your air conditioner and you will need to spray clean the vehicle or else they will quarantine it once it reaches the Romanian port. The only items allowed in the vehicle during a RORO transport are the floor mats, a jack, and spare keys.

Container shipping is another shipping option offered for importing. If you want to ship personal items along with your car then this is the shipping method to choose. You will be able to choose from two different sized containers; 20 and 40 foot containers. This method of shipping is more expensive than the Roll On/ Roll Off.

Satisfied Customers

“Hiring A1 Auto Transport was far cheaper than I thought it would be. I’ve always imagined auto transport services to be expensive as hell. It was easy to get in touch with them and the pickup was scheduled for the very next day. Despite being in Bucharest at the time, I was able to arrange for its travel from Atlanta to Indiana without much of a fuss. I really appreciated the driver’s efforts to keep me in the know and loved how understanding and helpful the staff was overall. My car got to Indiana on the promised day within the time frame they estimated. It was in good condition, with no damage suffered during transport. I heard open transport often gets vehicles scratched by the weather or from pebbles on the road, but nothing happened to mine. I’ll get back to you guys when I go back to Atlanta.”

“A1 Auto Transport sure knows how to give a red carpet experience. Joe was proactive and always available. The company I used before couldn’t get me scheduled even after a week. Joe did it in a few minutes. Ordering was a breeze, and the driver was good. He was on time for the pickup, but the delivery was a day late. The weather slowed him down a lot, but I’m just glad it arrived in Rhode Island intact. Overall, the experience was worth recommending to others. The car was as I sent it, and I’m a very happy customer.”

“Awesome! I had just a couple of days to get my car on a truck after the last company I tried left me hanging. Joe didn’t mind the short notice and got it to New Hampshire in 3 days flat. It was in great condition, just like I left it. The price was good and I was glad to have him in charge of the transport. I rarely meet such a trustworthy and professional man, especially in this industry. The driver also proved he knew what he was doing, following standard procedure like he’d done it a million times. He explained all his actions and reassured me nothing will happen to my car. If you want to transport your car anywhere in the US or outside, I highly recommend A1 Auto Transport. They provide a very comfortable experience, I was never pressured into anything, and the transport ran at my pace.”

Awesome!

“Best car transport so far! 5 years ago, I started talking to different car transport services, and most of them are just after your money. From the moment you book, you will be asked to deposit money and a few have hidden fees. With A1 Auto Transport, there were no hidden fees and advanced payment was not an issue as well. They have fair options to protect their client’s interests and that surely won my heart. I just got my car back to Nevada after a business trip, and they were just as professional as ever. Great job!”

“Joe’s auto transportation services were very satisfactory. If you’re checking out this industry and don’t know who to choose, I highly recommend you try A1 Auto Transport. They are very fast to reply and adapt well to your circumstances. I was concerned the company would not be able to meet my deadlines, but Joe somehow made it happen. He also managed to get the truck to my location, despite it being a bit tricky. I shipped my car all the way to Kansas, and the driver still managed to arrive on time, both for the pickup and for the delivery. I give this service a huge thumbs up and would recommend it to anyone.”
