Getting your car to Albania
Entry point: Port of Durres.
How it travels: By sea. RoRo or container from Bremerhaven or Hamburg, insured and tracked to the port.
The German half is the same for every destination outside the EU: we buy the car, arrange an independent inspection if you want one, register the export plates, file the ATLAS customs declaration and collect the exit confirmation that releases the 19% German VAT. You receive that file — contract, declaration and proof of exit — because your customs authority will ask for it.
What applies outside the EU
Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania and Kosovo sit outside the EU customs union, so a car leaving Germany for any of them is a genuine export: export plates, an ATLAS customs declaration, and an exit confirmation that releases the German VAT.
Most of these deliveries go by road rather than by sea. That usually means days rather than weeks, and it keeps the car on a transporter under one contract from the dealer’s forecourt to your city.
What we need to start
- A listing link from mobile.de or AutoScout24, or a specification if you want us to search.
- Your destination city, so we can price delivery beyond Port of Durres.
- Whether you are buying privately or as a company — it changes the paperwork and often the cost.
