CAR IMPORT PROCEDURE
Step-by-Step Guide to Importing and Registering a Car from Abroad
1.
When is it beneficial to import a car from abroad?
The first point of control is whether the car we are interested in is worth importing or not. The reasons that lead us to import a car may be the best quality, the best price, the greatest confidence in the European market, or the fact that the car we are interested in is not available in Greece either as a level of equipment, or even as a model. In any case, the costing of importing a car should be done by a professional so that there are no unpleasant surprises in the total cost of purchasing the car, which would make it unprofitable from the start.
2.
Right car choice
Our company's role begins with finding the car that will meet your requirements. There are many cases in which a car has been purchased that was not exactly what the buyer was looking for, which is realized when it is too late.
3.
Seller Rating: The Key to Safe Shopping
Next comes a very important step, which is the evaluation of the seller. This requires experience in order to choose an honest and reliable seller and not someone who is trying to hide things from you or even deceive you. The choice of a reputable dealer or individual through the thousands of sellers available on mobile.de, autoscout24.de or any other car sales page should be made by a professional in order to minimize failures in checks and, most importantly, the possibility of someone buying a problematic car or even falling victim to fraud and losing their money.
4.
Final Price Calculation and Classification Fees
Next, we proceed to calculate the final price of the car. The most difficult part is calculating its registration fees, which is why it is carried out by a specialized customs broker in order to have the greatest possible accuracy. The factors on which it depends are described in: Customs clearance.
5.
Vehicle Technical Inspection and Reliability Certification
We continue with the car check. The inspection is carried out by a specialized German engineering company. It is accompanied by a technical inspection report, so that it is easy to assign responsibilities in the event that any problem arises. In the event of the need or desire for an additional or more specialized inspection, this is possible with the consent of the seller of the car, and the corresponding cost is borne by the buyer.
6.
Purchase and Payment Process in Germany
The purchase of the car in Germany follows. Payment for the car is made directly from the buyer to the seller via bank transfer, following the legal formalities following a contract and/or invoice drawn up by the seller and of course subject to modification based on any specific requirements we may have.
7.
Safe Vehicle Transportation and Delivery
OR car transport which follows, is done by car trailer, with the most reputable transport company and with insurance throughout the entire duration of its transport. The car, from the moment of its receipt until its delivery to you, moves only for its loading and unloading and is not driven on the road network of Greece or the country from which it was purchased.
8.
Vehicle Inspection Upon Pickup in Greece
Upon the arrival of the car in Greece, you can check the car you ordered, with any mechanic/body repairer/your own person you wish.
9.
Vehicle Customs Clearance Process
Next is customs clearance of the car from the customs clearance office cooperating with us or from your own, if you wish.
10.
Customs Clearance and Issuance of Greek License Plates
All that remains is the customs clearance and the issuance of the Greek registration certificate. The car may be required to “pass” a MOT test to be verified by the Greek authorities that it is capable of circulating safely so that the Greek registration certificate can then be issued. We can also undertake this process or it can be done by you with our instructions.
