Why are you shipping your vehicle to the USA?

Entry rules

What are the rules for temporary entry, permanent import and transfer of residence in the USA?

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) treat a visitor's vehicle very differently from a permanent import. Duty on cars changed in 2025 and now depends on where the car was built.

OptionWho it is forDuty and taxWhat you need
Temporary entry (visitors and tourists)Nonresidents bringing a vehicle for personal useDuty free for up to one yearEPA form 3520-1 and DOT form HS-7; the vehicle must be exported within one year
Permanent importAnyone keeping the vehicle in the USACars: 15% in total if built in the EU, 10% if built in the UK (within the UK quota), higher for most others. Trucks: 25%Customs entry and bond, EPA form 3520-1, DOT form HS-7. Vehicles under 25 years old must meet US safety (FMVSS) and EPA standards
Transfer of residencePeople moving to the USAThe USA has no transfer-of-residence relief for vehicles. A vehicle you bring when you move is a permanent import and pays dutyAs for a permanent import
Returning residentUS residents bringing back a vehicle previously owned and registered in the USADuty free with proof of prior US ownership and registrationUS title and registration, and proof it left the USA
Classic / historic vehiclesVehicles at least 25 years oldExempt from the 2025 auto tariff; the normal 2.5% car duty appliesProof of the build date; exempt from FMVSS safety standards

A temporarily imported vehicle may not be sold in the USA, and there is no extension to the one-year export deadline for a vehicle that does not meet US standards. The EPA does not treat the vehicle as exported until it leaves the USA, Canada and Mexico.

Customs clearance is through our broker, a local agent we introduce, or your own broker. Rules change; we confirm them for your vehicle before you ship.

Touring / Overlanding

Can I tour the USA in my European vehicle?

No carnet is needed for the USA, but the EPA approval takes up to a month, so apply well before the ship sails.

Before you ship

  • Apply for the EPA exemption; it lasts one year and should start when you arrive
  • Clean the vehicle inside and out, including the underside and wheel arches
  • Leave cars and SUVs empty; check the carrier's rules for motorhomes
  • Get a gas-free certificate for fixed tanks, no more than 5 days old

Documents for booking

  • Vehicle registration document
  • Passport
  • Your address in Europe and in the USA
  • EPA exemption letter

Delivery and collection

Deliver to the port at least 4 working days before sailing. Collection is usually 3–5 working days after unloading.

Insurance

Motor insurance for foreign vehicles is harder to find in the USA and Canada than it was. We give you contacts for liability and comprehensive cover.

Shipping home

We ship back to Europe from the East Coast, the Gulf, the West Coast and Halifax.

Importing to the USA

How do I import a vehicle from Europe to the USA permanently?

A permanent import needs a US customs entry, a bond and the EPA and DOT declarations. Our broker, a local agent we introduce, or your own broker can make the entry.

Check the vehicle first
A vehicle under 25 years old that was not built to US standards needs a Registered Importer to bring it into line, which can cost a lot. The manufacturer's label in the door frame or engine bay shows whether it complies.
Where it was built matters
A car built in Germany and one built in Japan pay different duty, even if both ship from Bremerhaven. Tell us the country of manufacture when you ask for a quote.
Import costs
Allow about US$450 for customs, ISF, EPA/DOT filing and port fees, plus US$35 per courier and a bond of 1.6% of the value (subject to a minimum) or an annual bond.
Documents
Registration document, bill of sale, passport, EPA form 3520-1 and DOT form HS-7.

Trade and business

Do you ship for dealers, importers and businesses?

We ship single vehicles and regular volumes from Europe to the USA for dealers, classic car exporters and businesses, including trucks and machinery on RORO.

RORO

Questions about shipping from Europe

How much does it cost to ship a car from Europe to the USA?

RORO sea freight for a standard car typically costs €950–1,270, a 4x4 €1,220–1,800 and a motorhome €2,680–3,860, based on IVSS quotes in the last 90 days. Allow about US$450 for US customs, ISF, EPA/DOT filing and port fees.

How long does it take to ship a car from Europe to the USA?

About 10–14 days from Zeebrugge or Bremerhaven to New York, and 2–4 weeks to Baltimore, Brunswick and Galveston. The West Coast takes longer. Collection is usually 3–5 working days after the ship is unloaded.

Can I tour the USA in my European car or motorhome?

Yes. A visitor who lives abroad can bring a vehicle in duty free for personal use for up to one year. It cannot be sold in the USA. Apply for the EPA approval before shipping, and plan to leave the USA, Canada and Mexico within 12 months.

What duty do I pay to import a European car into the USA permanently?

It depends on where the car was built. EU-built cars pay 15% in total, UK-built cars 10% within the UK quota, and most others more. Cars under 25 years old must also meet US safety and emissions standards. We confirm the rate with the broker before you ship.

Can I take a classic car from Europe to the USA?

Yes. Cars at least 25 years old are exempt from US safety standards and from the 2025 auto tariff. The normal 2.5% duty still applies.

Can I leave camping gear in my motorhome?

It depends on the carrier: one allows installed lithium batteries and items in motorhomes, one allows only a short packing list, and one requires vehicles to ship empty. Cars and SUVs must be empty on all carriers.

Do I need a carnet for the USA?

No. A Carnet de Passages is not needed for the USA.

When are the next sailings from Europe to the USA?

Live schedules from the carriers we book with. Dates move; we confirm yours at booking.
