Shipping a car to Netherlands from USA is an easy task for us. We are an international car shipping company with over 25 years shipping cars to Netherlands. We have shipping ports all around USA (see departure ports below) to make your car shipping experience a pleasant one. If you are far from one of these departure shipping ports, we can arrange one of our car transporters to pick up the car and bring it to the shipping docks. Let's say you are in Ohio and need your car shipped to the nearest car shipping port. By letting us transport your car, you would save money on gas, hotel, food and a plane ticket back to Ohio. This may actually be less than if you were to do it yourself.

1) RoRo (Roll on Roll off)

Use the RoRo car shipping method if only one or two cars need to be shipped. This is a very common method when shipping a car to Netherlands. You will have many departure ports to ship from in the US. When shipping via RoRo, we do not permit anything inside the car except for the spare tire and the jack. This is because the car must clear customs. The car has to be in good working condition since it must be able to make it up and down the ramp (see above). Once the car is aboard the RoRo ship, it will be blocked and braced to the deck of the ship. This will prevent it from moving around while crossing the ocean.

2) Container Ship

Use this shipping method if you need to ship additional items beside a car. Items can be shipped inside the car using shared container. Another option is using full container shipping if a person is moving large household items. An itemized list of goods, along with their values, must be presented.

Like RoRo shipping, one great thing about shipping a car to Netherlands via container ship is you have many departure shipping ports to choose from in the United States. If you are not near one, just let us know and we'll arrange one of our car transporters to pick up your car. Using a container ship is great if you need to ship more than just your car. You can get a shared container or a full exclusive container. Read more about container shipping.

Important information to know before shipping a car to Netherlands

• All Residents of the European Union (and tourists) entering Netherlands will be subject to 30% taxes of the value of the car.  The value is determined by the Kelly Blue Book. This is only a holding deposit and it is refunded once the vehicle is registered in the European Union (or other country of destination). As for American tourists who are bringing their cars to Europe through the Netherlands, they will be refunded once the vehicle is shipped back to it's the US. This is done to prevent people from escaping the normal tax.
• Contact the Netherlands Embassy to confirm the following: Normal taxes are 10% + 10% VAT. This is only waived when the customer has been living in the US for more than 1 year & is returning to their primary country of residence with their property.
• Original Title of Ownership is required. The Title must be free and clear of any liens.
