Car Import from the United States

The US is a paradise for car enthusiasts. From classic muscle cars to modern sports cars, you can find it all here. At SCL Rotterdam, we often get the question: "What does it really cost to import and ship a car from America?" A fair question, of course, but America is a huge country, and the transport costs depend on many different factors, such as the exact location of the car, the type of vehicle, and the condition of the car. Therefore, it is difficult to give a definitive answer to this question without having more information about the vehicle in question.

Do you already have a vehicle in mind? Feel free to contact us! SCL Rotterdam has a large network of agents and transporters throughout almost all of America, and we are happy to tell you more about it! Request a no-obligation quote to know exactly where you stand. Prefer to receive more information first? We are available every working day from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Call +31 (0)10 427 7723, or email sales@sclrotterdam.com. We are happy to assist you.

What you need to know about transporting your car to the US

Transporting your car to the United States depends on several factors, such as the location of the vehicle, the transport method (e.g., roll-on/roll-off or container shipping), and the specific requirements of US Customs. It is essential to have all the necessary documents in order, such as a valid proof of ownership and a cleaning certificate for the vehicle to comply with US agricultural regulations.

How does car transport to the USA Work?

  1. Preparation: Make sure you have all the necessary documents, including proof of ownership and any import permits.
  2. Transport Method: Choose between roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) or container shipping. RoRo is often cheaper and faster, while container shipping offers more protection.
  3. Customs Clearance: Our local agents can help with customs formalities to ensure your vehicle enters the US without any issues.
  4. Delivery: Once your car arrives in the US, we arrange local transport options to your desired location.
