Reply to "Shipping cars."

Kjeld, I had a good experience with:
Jeremy Barker Jeremy@carseurope.net, they did a good job of the paperwork, the transportation, and getting a low VAT. I paid €2500 for transport US-Rotterdam, €236 for insurance, and they got me a 6% VAT and no customs. Can’t get much cheaper than that.

I’ve heard Holland changed the rules. The point was, how to get the car cheapest into the EU. In all of EU there is (was?) a rule about classic cars in orig condition that are of broad interest, or something like that, can enter EU at 0% customs and low VAT (Holland 6%, UK 5%). Denmark, being the car hater country (or tax loving country) wouldn’t consider a Pantera like that, it has to be a one of a kind gold Rolls that someone famous committed suicide in. But the Dutch were a lot more flexible, so everybody importing classic cars, including me, used them, and they got all the income, Danish tax authorities got nothing. So it was brought to the EU. To make a long story short, I’m not sure Holland is most favorable anymore. And to make the story even shorter: Call Jeremy, he’ll know for sure. Say hello from me if you want, though it's been some years now.
