Getting your car to Libya
Entry point: Misrata or Benghazi.
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 in North Africa
North African markets take left-hand-drive vehicles, which is what Germany builds — so unlike much of East and Southern Africa there is no steering-side obstacle. What varies is the age ceiling and the duty basis, and both are set nationally and change with the budget.
We confirm the current position with your customs authority in writing before you commit to a specific car, and quote the landed cost on that basis rather than a generic figure.
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 Misrata or Benghazi.
- Whether you are buying privately or as a company — it changes the paperwork and often the cost.
