Cars from the USA
Register a car from the USA from A to Z
Importing a car from the US involves more formalities than from the EU. We guide you through customs clearance, headlight homologation, excise duty, translations and final registration — without unnecessary stress.
What do you need to arrange?
Customs clearance
Customs duty, VAT and SAD declaration on import from outside the EU. Errors in customs documents block further registration.
Headlight homologation
American headlights must be adapted to European standards — symmetrical lights, indicators, speedometer in km/h.
Translations
Certificate of Title, Bill of Sale and customs documents must be translated by a sworn translator.
Excise duty and registration
AKC-US declaration, technical inspection, visit to the relevant Communications Department and collection of number plates.
Why entrust the paperwork to us?
Frequently asked questions
Can every car from the USA be registered in Poland?
No, it depends on the Title status. Junk, Parts Only and Non-Repairable statuses exclude registration. Salvage and Rebuilt require repairs and inspections.
How long does it take to register a car from the USA?
Usually from a few weeks to several months, depending on transport, customs clearance, homologation and document availability.
Can everything be done online?
Excise and most formalities yes, but technical inspection and plate collection require personal presence or a proxy.
How much does it cost to register a car from the USA?
Cost depends on vehicle value, customs duty, VAT, excise, homologation costs and office fees. We prepare individual quotes.
