Port handling and unloading of vehicles

In order to keep the risk of damage down as much as possible during shipping and unloading from the container, we placed particular importance to professional loading in the USA and unloading without the aid of forklift trucks. Since the majority of the unloading companies in the Netherlands unfortunately do not forego the use of fork lift trucks, we have switched to importing all vehicles to Europe via Bremerhaven. In addition to the cheaper costs for port handling and possible stand fees, we can thus guarantee our customers proper unloading. Of course, when importing via Bremerhaven, there is also the option of customs clearance at reduced import taxes for vehicles that are more than 30 years old. Customs clearance takes place at the Dutch border in the course of delivery. The costs incurred are the same as the costs for an import via the Netherlands, but with the reduced risk of damage we strive for and the full control of the entire import process.

Should you have any further questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us by phone or email!

Customs clearance of vehicles (vintage cars) in France or the Netherlands

Customs clearance of vehicles (vintage cars) in France or the Netherlands

There was a time when the customs clearance of classic cars in the Netherlands and France was a common practice. However, times have changed, and this process is now less frequently used. In this article, we offer you up-to-date and practical solutions, guiding you safely through the customs maze.

Customs clearance via France or the Netherlands

Classic Car Import into the EU: Customs and VAT

The interest in importing classic cars from overseas is steadily growing. While finding the perfect vehicle is a challenge in itself, the subsequent bureaucratic process often proves to be a complex endeavor. One of the central questions importers ask is which EU country is best for customs clearance of their vehicle.

VAT Rates in the Most Popular Countries: An Overview

  • France: 5.5% VAT
  • Germany: 7% VAT
  • Netherlands: 9% VAT
  • Austria: 13% VAT

In all the mentioned countries, no customs duties apply.

It's possible to clear customs for vehicles in any of these EU countries after importing them. For this, only the creation of a T1 transit document is necessary. This allows for the transportation of the vehicle to the desired customs office.

Customs Clearance in Germany: A Wise Choice

In the past, it was often attractive to import vehicles via the Netherlands due to their lower import duties compared to Germany. However, this has changed. Today, the import duties in the Netherlands are even higher than in Germany. Therefore, we generally recommend customs clearance via Bremerhaven. This saves additional transfer costs, and Germany also offers favorable import duties for classic cars.

France: Worth Considering for Luxury Classic Cars

Although Germany is often the first choice for customs clearance, France, with its lower VAT, still holds a certain allure, especially when considering the purchase of high-priced classic cars. However, keep in mind that additional handling and transfer costs will apply.

Conclusion

Importing a classic car requires careful planning and consideration. It's essential to consider all costs, including import duties and potential transfer costs, in advance. With the right strategy and preparation, the dream of owning a classic car can easily become a reality.
