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.
