If you are going to relocate your vehicle to Holland, you have a pretty difficult task. Although the Netherlands is a quite popular destination and there are many companies that offer overseas transport of vehicles, shipping your car to Europe is a real challenge.
Auto transport industry is definitely growing and there are more and more auto shippers who advertise on the Internet. With the use of their websites you can send a car shipping quote in order to receive an estimated car shipping cost and any further information.
The same companies that offer car shipping to Germany will transport your vehicle to Holland. As the Netherlands is a member of the EU, one must take into account the fact that there may be specific fees and charges to be paid when importing goods from outside the EU. That is why you should check such regulations before you decide to contact a shipping company.
No matter if you relocate your car from the East or the West Coast, it will take a great deal of time, approximately two to five weeks. The tax to be paid is 10% plus 10% VAT.
If you wish to be allowed to get a free-of-tax registration of your vehicle in Holland, you need a special permit. Not everyone can obtain it and it is given to people who meet the following criteria: the person has been a resident of the EU for at least twelve months and has owned the vehicle for six months or more and the car must have been used in the EU before.
After you manage to move your car to the Netherlands for the next twelve months it cannot be sold, leased or pledged. Otherwise you should inform a customs office which will inform you what taxes you are going to pay.
As in case of car shipping to Poland or Germany you can have the agent send your car either in a special container (on a container ship) or on a deck of RORO vessel.
Before you decide to ship your car to the Netherlands check all the up-to-date regulations with the Netherlands consulate as well as to make sure that an agent you have chosen is trustworthy and reputable.
