• Insurance policy which is international
• Title deed
• Registration certificate
• Passport
• Residence visa or a work permit

• Certificate which declares duty free importation ( this one is optional )

Requirements to fulfill

If your car is registered within the U.S and you want to import it here you have to have lived outside Iceland for at least a year. The time limit for importing the car is 30 days. You also have to clear transportation fees before your vehicle exits the USA. You might want to get a quote from your shipping agent as to what the total cost is going to be. The latter is going to be greatly dependant on a lot of factors such the method of shipping, the year, model and make of the car, the car’s size and weight and many more. Additionally, you can choose between RORO shipping and container shipping. The first is more preferred as it’s cheaper but the second is a lot more secure and thus a bit more expensive.
