Импорт лайф
US UK, there seems to be two ways to ship a car; in a container or not in a container The difference for me was 6,600 vs. 1200 so clearly I went with the non-container This method is normally called roll-on, roll-off or RORO for short My 1200 got cars collected my home in Austin, put on a huge transport truck in Florida by US customs, on the ship and I collected it in Southampton I thought it was a reasonable value when it excluded the assurance of expedition, which was 1 5 of the value of the car.
I'm told that most automakers export cars using RORO so there should not be a problem with this method some people have told me that they got a containerized cargo for a little more, I have to admit I l 'would have paid a little more for the container, but not at the price I quoted there is a risk of flight using RORO - my license plates dissappeared way for example.
I have had several quotes for shipping freight You should look in the yellow pages and there are several on the web I Vantage International Shipping, which responded quickly by phone and email with a competitive price got the job, by the way - but have since closed, unfortunately the second time I Allworld Moving to Boston that were very good.
Allstates Worldwide has an impressive website but did not respond even to their website as a personal importer told me they did a terrible job for him, damaged his car and refused to talk to her - best avoided.
Ghedi International in Austin, TX, provided an estimate, and sent it a few years ago a car colleagues.
I recently discovered imports of American cars based in London and Miami and told them conversions They were far too expensive, but have a website and can be useful for shipping or other issues.
When the car is ready to go, it should have a quarter of a gallon of gasoline While less and if it short during transit, maritime authorities not charge you more and they can remove excess and charge for that too ashamed really because gasoline is slightly cheaper in the US and it is tempting to fill up - don t.
Your sender will need the title of the vehicle or if a new title they want the certificate of origin, they need the original to make copies.
If you buy new, for immediate export, then it is possible to buy the car without US Sales Tax However, the search for a US broker who understands the question is a bit difficult, for example in the area of Boston, I tried a dozen dealers before Quirk Ford told me they could do it and had sold several cars to private exporters reality was a bit frustrating, but perseverance paid off and I got tax free.
Keep in mind that the purchase of new, sometimes attracts discount manufacturers, which are available to US residents only So if you have a US address and social security number, pay the tax, and title the vehicle that you could get a heavy discount applied as a reduction to Ront Ford if I could have 3000 Expedition However, the process title would have added up to 4-6 weeks and the dealer was worried that when the car hit Customs and was swept out of the country, Ford 3000 dealer recover back it seems a problem reasonabel if in the end we did it without a refund, but the less tax and have made a difference with a little more discount, then I'm the car there and then.
A surprise I had when I collected the car in Southampton, was there was an additional Ј40 on 60 handling fee for the British agent shippers They were pretty efficient and helpful, but I did not expect this charge it covers the removal of the car vessel, storage and handling all documents therefore have a lot of spare money to avoid embarrassing situations in fact, you should ask your sender that their US receiving agent in the United Kingdom and is calling for their exact costs in advance.
The car collection process was like an adventure game I lost track of all the people we spoke to on the day, but as long as you have all the documents and manage hand the relevant elements of paper to everyone in the chain, after 30 minutes you drive your new baby far from the banks, with a big smile on your face option.
Quotations in 1998 ranged from 360- 516 for shipping insurance, but in November 2001, I am a AutoXport quote in Florida for only 1200 which included insurance The rule here is to shop, but it will usually be provided by your sender about 1 5 of the cost of the car, you must ensure that you are assured of where you say goodbye to your car - when you still see This can be door to door or dock to dock or a combination - be sure sure it's covered for all time s falling into the sea.
Read especially fine print and exclusions Make sure you know what is included and what is generally not if you put something loose in the car then don t expect it to be there for each other end and don t expect to be covered by the insurance that I know people who filled the car with effects that made the UK - but frankly, they had the chance I would does it risked.
I covered the front seats with plastic sheeting that my local garage gave me free and did the same with the steering wheel and carpet before when I collected the car in Southampton this plan seems to have paid, since everything was dirty with oil Fortunately, I could just throw the protective covers and everything was spotless in.
My only loss was the license plate had been stolen - so be sure to remove anything that is easy to remove and cover all that big fat boots are likely to receive.
You will pay on May 17 taxes and customs duties of 10 unless you own the car for more than 6 months and can prove it and if you plan to keep it for your own use for at least one year after the entry country These days you also show that you have lived in the US for 6 months also and the car was driven licensed and insured during this period this is to catch all the scammers who claim all this in order to avoid the duty and tax, I think Customs closed the gaps.
