Follow the regulations and rules approve by the Bulgarian government and you won't have any problems. You will also need to pay the taxes due with your import, pay for additional insurance for importing, and verify your origin. Your vehicle will be subject to inspection prior to being allowed on the road.
Your vehicle will be considered in Bulgaria on a temporary basis so you will need to pay or the vehicle to be imported through customs. This amount will be determined by the year, the make, the model, and the date of registration as well as the size of the engine. If you plan to be in Bulgaria for more than twelve months, you will need to renew your temporary import close to the time it is running out. To import your vehicle from the United States to Bulgaria, you can expect to pay between $1,800 and $4,200 and this could be more or less depending on your vehicle and your needs.

The total amount you will pay for taxes and duties will depend on several factors including the country of origin and specifications of your vehicle. However, if your vehicle is imported from the outside of the EU including USA, it will be charged a fee of about 17% or more, depending on several factors. The current standard VAT for Bulgaria is 20% and is determined by the value of goods and adding that to the international shipping cost and insurance cost. Excise taxes will also be added to the import cost and is determined by the Bulgarian authorities.
You may want to choose container shipping when shipping a vehicle to Bulgaria.
