Shipping a car from USA to Poland [85]
Hi.I wouldn't take my car to PL if I was you.
First of all,Honda Element is not available on European market.That means you may not be able to get any parts for yours (used or brand new)
Shipping a car from US may take up to three months and may cost you about 1500 bucks.If you want to register your Honda in PL then it's 10% duty to be paid for cars from beyond EU, 17% of tax if size of engine is over 2 liters ( I believe your Honda has 2.4) and 22% vat ,plus registration fees $100, American documents translations $40,emissions test $50,unless you will drive it with us plates that you can do for 6 months.I don't know whether fuel consumption is for the main criteria but in PL you need to pay $1.70 for 1 liter unleaded petrol and with 2.4 SUV it it almost impossible to keep below 14l/100km in urban cycle.
Regarding your stuff,try POLAMER,my brother use to use them when he lived in Chicago.They got their branches in many major cities in US.The address below is for branch in Chicago:5514 West Belmont Avenue
Chicago, IL 60641-4129, United States
(773) 794-0200
I know that forums may not be a very good place for that,but it happens that since I migrated to UK my car is for sale(near Krakow) if you are interested.It is silver 2005 Skoda Octavia turbo diesel estate,mileage is 75k miles,very popular make in PL inside it's all VW technology.Didn't take it with me because I was given company van over here.My UK number 00447754411215.
I hope you like in Poland.Good luck!
