Shipping support from
US auctions to Europe
Understand how transport, port handling, customs documentation and delivery coordination can work after a successful auction purchase.
How shipping works
Overview of the typical steps from auction to delivery.
Auction purchase confirmed
Once your bid wins and payment is settled, the vehicle is released by the auction provider. We coordinate the first steps with your auction confirmation and documentation.
Vehicle collected from auction yard
A transport carrier collects the vehicle from the auction yard and delivers it to the designated port of export. Collection timing depends on the auction location and vehicle availability.
Export and ocean transport arranged
The vehicle is processed for export and loaded onto a container or RoRo vessel bound for Europe. We coordinate the booking, documentation, and port handling.
Customs and final delivery coordinated
Upon arrival at the European port, customs clearance is arranged. The vehicle is then prepared for final delivery to your chosen destination.
Destination support
We coordinate shipping to selected European regions through established logistics partners.
Baltics
Coordination support for Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia through major Baltic ports with established logistics routes.
Central Europe
Coverage across Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Austria, and Germany with inland transport connections.
Western Europe
Support for France, Benelux, and the United Kingdom through major North Sea and Channel ports.
Southern Europe
Arrangements for Italy, Spain, Portugal, and the Balkan region via Mediterranean shipping routes.
What affects shipping cost
Several factors influence the total shipping cost. We provide transparent estimates based on your specific situation.
Auction yard location
Distance from the auction yard to the port of export affects inland transport costs.
Vehicle size and condition
Larger vehicles and non-running units may require specialised handling and different transport methods.
Port of export
Different US ports have varying handling fees, documentation requirements, and shipping schedules.
Destination country
Shipping rates vary by European destination based on route distance, port fees, and demand.
Customs and documentation requirements
Import duties, VAT, customs broker fees, and documentation costs differ by destination country.
Final delivery distance
Transport from the arrival port to your final address is quoted separately based on distance and method.
Important notes
Key information to understand before planning your shipment.
Shipping is quoted separately
Shipping costs are not included in the auction vehicle price. A separate quote is provided based on your specific requirements.
Import taxes and customs duties may apply
Depending on your country of import, customs duties, VAT, and other taxes may be charged by local authorities upon arrival.
Delivery depends on destination and carrier availability
Transit times and final delivery scheduling depend on carrier capacity, port schedules, and destination accessibility.
Vehicle condition can affect transport options
Non-running vehicles, salvage-title units, or vehicles with significant damage may require specialised equipment and additional handling.
