Ship Car To Kaunas

Car Shipping Kaunas

Kaunas is Lithuania's second-largest city and has remained prominent since historical times. It is known as the hub of Lithuanian academic, cultural, and economic life. Its location is quite important, right on the confluence of major rivers in this country—Neris and Nemunas—near Kaunas reservoir. This is the largest water body in the country and is the most prominent riverside port among all Baltic States.

With time, the number of expatriates and foreign students staying and studying in Kaunas has increased. This brings with it the need for owning personal cars for easy transportation.

Bringing your personal car

Importing vehicles here is not difficult, but you need to abide by specific regulations to make it smooth and seamless. You must pay fees and duties along with taxes, fulfill documentation needs, and fill out relevant forms. Weather plays an important role in importing cars to Kaunas, as the region has a continental climate. Cool and rainy summers often give way to frigid winters with freezing temperatures. You always have to worry about cloudy, overcast skies, and rainfall.

How conducive the weather remains during vehicle hauling to the associated port depends upon your luck. Delays related to transport are quite common here. Since Lithuania became an independent nation, its economy has improved with the increasing availability of imported goods in the markets. With time, customs laws and regulations have strengthened. Today, bringing your vehicle from the US to Kaunas is far easier than it was earlier.

You must ensure that you understand the procedure right. You must keep certain documents handy as you must show them at the customs. This includes:

• Registration from the original country.
• Lithuania residence permits.
• Invoice of vehicle purchase.
• Owner’s passport.
• Car title.
• Car ownership proof.

The Lithuanian Customs Department contains all the required information, which you can consult whenever in doubt. It is important to know about associated restrictions or limitations for vehicle import.

You must remove external, nonpermanent vehicle parts during shipment, followed by steam cleaning. This way, interiors will remain spotless, and you will not face problems like quarantine issues. Additionally, you will have to remove the gases from the air-conditioning system.

There are two methods used in hauling vehicles worldwide. These are:

• Enclosed 20-foot/40-foot containers: Your car and all accessories are accommodated within the container and sealed. At Kaunas, it will be handed over to you.
• RORO method: Your car is easily driven over the ramp on the ship and driven off. However, the air conditioning gas needs to be removed, and you cannot have anything except a little gas, a spare tire, and a jack in the car.

Eligibility to import vehicle

Are you unsure about your eligibility status for importing vehicles from the US? Do not worry; simply go through Title 19, relating to federal regulations, for a clear idea.

Importing is not that difficult, provided you pay at customs for shipment. If certain modifications to the car are a requirement, then you must go through and not forget to undertake relevant testing as well. Additionally, you will need to apply for registration of the vehicle identification plate along with relevant government approval. To ensure worry-free usage, you must make sure to understand the driving and traffic rules of Lithuania.
