Car Shipping Milan

Milan is Italy’s epicenter for economy and financial endeavors making it the number one relocation destination for business savvy individuals and businesses throughout the world. If you have recently moved to Milan or are planning to do so, you may need to move your personal vehicle as well. Milan has brought acclaim to business such as television, internet, manufacturing, automobile, chemicals, pharmaceutical, health and biotechnologies. The city is also a prominent leader in banking, finance and stock trade worldwide. On top of the general business endeavors that millions of people find themselves relocating for, Milan is also host to more than 2.6 million people annually travelling through Italy and visiting the city, thus increasing revenue in the private sector business for lodging, restaurants and shopping centers. Traveling in such a busy industrial city will be much easier when using your own personal vehicle. Hailing a daily cab or even renting a motor vehicle can become very expensive in a short period of time, and even with the cost of shipping a car overseas, you will find that you will save money by relocating your own car when adding in daily fees, insurance for rentals and rental fees.

Customs and Registration in Milan.

Italy is unlike many countries as it does not have stringent customs regulations pertaining to the import of automobiles. You will need to pay import duties and taxes as well as a Value Added Tax (VAT) if you have a new car and you will need to register your automobile and have Italian license plates on the car in order to drive legally while in Milan. Improper tags and those not from Italy can cause your automobile to be secured by the Police in Milan and you may have to pay high fees for release, or can even chance the car being exported back to the United States. To have your automobile registered promptly you will need to go to the Provincial Motorization Office and speak to the Registrar of Motor Vehicles. If you have owned your automobile for more than one year, you may be able to be exempted from paying the duty fees. They will need the following paperwork to legally register your car and give you the Italian license plates:
