Documents Required For Non-members of the European Union

- A written customs declaration, available in border customs offices
- Pre-registration inspection by the ARK Bureau
Import Duties
All vehicles imported into Estonia or rebuilt in the country are subject to import duties. Vehicles must be registered in Estonia within five days of Customs clearance, and applicable tariffs must be paid during this period as well.
Process of registering a vehicle in Estonia.
Types of Shipping
The two primary methods of vehicle shipping are Ro/Ro (“roll on/roll off”) and container shipping. Ro/Ro – driving the vehicle onto a ship at the port of origin, and back off at the port of arrival – is typically the less expensive of the two. However, those shipping a more valuable vehicle, such as a vintage or antique mode, may prefer the greater protection from collisions and the elements that a shipping container provides.
Preparing Your Car for Shipping
Once the decision to ship has been made and the method has been selected, there are a few important final preparation steps:
- Clean the vehicle, inside and out. A thorough job will help to avoid quarantine-based delays at Customs.
- Remove all personal belongings from the car.
- Obtain shipping insurance.
- Inspect the car for dents, scratches, and other issues in the company of the shipping agent. Be sure to note any blemishes or problems, and obtain a signed copy of the record.
Shipping Of Heavy Equipment & Oversized Cargo To Estonia
Shipping heavy equipment out of the United States to a country far across the globe is a task that’s best left to skilled transport specialists with international shipping experience. There’s a lot that goes into planning and preparing for an overseas transport. When you don’t have access to the proper equipment and technology, delivering heavy equipment to another country isn’t possible. Not to mention, before you can ship your oversized cargo to Estonia, you must understand their import laws and provide specific forms of proof to Customs. Professional transporters will guide you through this process and make the overall shipping process a successful, smooth experience.
At A1 Auto Transport, we have shipped all types of heavy equipment and overseas cargo to other countries throughout the decades we’ve been in business. We have the logistics of such a long, international delivery already mastered. To give you an idea, some of the pieces of heavy equipment and oversized cargo we have shipped include…

It doesn’t matter what type of oversized cargo or heavy equipment you’re shipping to Estonia, A1 will add on insurance coverage to your shipping service purchase.

What Overseas Transport Methods Are Available to Me?
Anyone in need of shipping services through A1 for delivering heavy equipment overseas will have several options unless their cargo limits them from choosing certain transport options. Nevertheless, we’ve included a summary of each international transport service we offer…
- Container shipping is the safest form of international transport. As long as your heavy equipment can fit into a 40ft container (even if it must be disassembled), you’re able to take advantage of this method of shipping. Due to the extra security provided, this transport method is slightly more expensive than the other options you have.
- Flat rack shipping includes securing your cargo to a metal frame so it has no room to move or shift before it is placed atop the water vessel for transport.
- RoRo transport is the cheapest and most cost efficient shipping service we offer. This open air service is available to those with functioning vehicles and equipment able to roll onto and off of the ship using a ramp.
- LoLo transport is a method of open air transport that’s recommended to those with inoperable large vehicles and equipment. A crane is used to lift the cargo on and off of the ship.
