Ship Your Car To Belarus

Typical Prices – How Much Does It Cost?

• Vehicle shipping rates to Belarus from the USA are between $1,500 to $4,500.
• This applies to sedans and other standard vehicles, with SUVs, trucks, and larger vehicles costing more to transport.

Understanding Import Duties and Taxes

Knowing the applicable duties and taxes is essential when importing a vehicle into Belarus. Gas-powered cars are subject to a 15% import duty and a 20% value-added tax (VAT). For vehicles older than five years, additional taxes are calculated based on engine displacement and the vehicle's value, ranging from 1.5 to 5.7 EUR per cubic centimeter.

Required Documentation for Customs Clearance

Proper documentation is crucial for customs clearance in Belarus. The necessary documents include:

• Original bill of lading
• Vehicle title and registration
• Proof of insurance
• Passport and proof of residency
• Customs declaration forms

Ensure all documents are accurate and submitted at least 72 hours before exportation to avoid delays.

Temporary Importation Regulations

Foreign citizens can temporarily import a car into Belarus without paying duties and taxes for up to one year. The period is initially set for three months, after which an application for extension must be submitted to the customs office. It's important to note that the vehicle must be used only by the individual who imported it and must be re-exported or cleared adequately through customs before the permitted period ends.

By understanding these key aspects, including import duties, required documentation, and temporary importation rules, you can better navigate shipping a car to Belarus and ensure compliance with local regulations.

Transporting a car may seem complicated and stressful, especially when shipping your vehicle to another country, such as Belarus. However, it isn't as difficult as you assume; transporting your car will only give you comfort and the ability to drive wherever you need. Relying on public transportation in another country can be pretty tricky.

There are many concerns when importing/exporting your vehicle to another country. Of course, the most crucial is ensuring the car arrives safely. Shipping/importing your vehicle to Eastern Europe may also raise concerns about rates and fees. Well, this is all validated and very understandable.

Why Moving Your Vehicle Is Worth It

Whether moving or going there for an extended business trip, transporting your car is worth the effort. While Belarus has public transportation, having your vehicle transported will be beneficial, and you will have the freedom to travel on your own time. Below are some matters that may be difficult to overcome should you decide not to transport your vehicle:

• Public transportation in Belarus can be difficult due to the language barriers.
• It may be challenging to understand where the railway (a popular form of transportation in Belarus) is going and where to get on board.
• The currency is different, and you may find it hard to understand how much transportation within the country costs. The country uses rules as its currency.
• You have to worry about tipping and finding sufficient ways to travel safely.

Methods of Moving a Vehicle

As with most other European countries, there are two ways/to import your vehicle to Belarus. The most popular method of transporting a car overseas is Ro/Ro, a shipping/importing method that requires the vehicle to be empty except for a car jack, spare tire, and floor mats. Container shipping is more commonly chosen to ship a car to Belarus. There aren't as many ports for Ro/Ro shipping as for container shipping near the country.

A container allows you to split costs with another individual if you share one. You can also pack your vehicle with belongings and possessions you would like shipped to Belarus. However, a container might be slightly more costly. You must consider your circumstances and decide what vehicle moving method suits you best.

Required Documents

The following requirements are according to the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations. All of the following documentation must be presented to Customs 72 hours before exportation:

1. Title, proof of insurance, vehicle registration, passport, and proof of residency.
2. Document any previous damage to the vehicle.
3. Documentation of vehicle health- any mechanical issues must be noted.
4. New vehicles without a title must have the original copy and two more copies of the manufacturer's statement of origin. The document can be obtained from the dealership where the vehicle was purchased.
5. If you do not own the vehicle, you must present a notarized document from the lien holder granting permission to transport it overseas.

What You Must Know

Upon arrival, some matters will need to be cared for immediately. This information can be found on the Belarus Customs page. You will also find information on travel in Belarus, such as proper forms of insurance and checkpoints throughout the country. Car crimes aren't as typical as in the U.S., but knowing the country's laws is always best. Make sure you are traveling safely.
