• Driving License issued in the USA.
• Title Deed.

• Need to have a residential permit for staying over 12 months
• Have owned the vehicle for a year before the import

All of the shipments are carried out through RORO or Container shipping. If you are importing a very expensive vehicle you might want extra insurance or ship it with a container to guarantee that you are covered in terms of damages. RORO is the cheapest option as there are only charges for parking bay. Of course, there are a lot of limitations when it comes to it because you can’t ship anything but your vehicle and nothing within it. Air shipping, on the other hand, is also an option but it’s particularly expensive. Container shipping is a convenient option if you need to ship additional personal belongings as you can fill the entire container.

The Total Cost.

The import duty which is imposed on vehicles is between 40% and 110% of the cost of the car. There is a 10% GST tax. In order to get a total quote, it’s best if you talk with your shipping agent as they will be able to do so.
