Classic Car Import & Export Canada with complete customs clearance
Canada is a true paradise for classic car enthusiasts. The dry climate in many provinces has preserved numerous classic vehicles in excellent condition that would have long since fallen victim to rust in Europe. For classic car imports from Canada, we, as your experienced logistics partner, handle the entire process from local pickup to delivery to your desired address in Germany or Europe.
The customs formalities for importing from Canada are complex and require precise documentation. We prepare all necessary export and import documents, take care of the Canadian export formalities, and handle customs clearance upon arrival in the EU for you. Thanks to our own bonded warehouse at the port of Bremerhaven, we can also flexibly manage time-sensitive processing and securely store your vehicle temporarily.
The reverse process is also our specialty: For classic car exports to Canada, we support you with the sale or transfer of your classic car to North America. We advise you on Canadian import regulations and ensure that your vehicle meets all requirements.

When is a car considered a classic car?
A vehicle is generally considered a classic car if it is at least 30 years old and its condition can be described as almost original. In this case, it may be imported into the European Union duty-free under certain circumstances, or only the legally stipulated 7% import VAT will be applied.
Duty-free import of classic cars
Whether a classic car may be imported duty-free is decided by the European customs authority after a thorough inspection. This is, of course, different when importing into Switzerland. Our employees with years of experience in classic car imports not only handle the customs clearance of your dream car but also deliver it safely to any location you desire. Our door-to-door solution is a popular service. This way, you can quickly enjoy your imported vehicle.
Safely Transporting Classic Vehicles To and From Canada
Safely transporting valuable classic cars across the Atlantic requires experience and the right infrastructure. We offer two proven transport methods: RoRo shipping (Roll-on/Roll-off), where your vehicle drives onto the ship on its own wheels, and protected container transport for particularly valuable or inoperable classics.
For container transport, your classic car is professionally lashed and secured against slipping in a 20- or 40-foot container. This method offers maximum protection against weather influences and mechanical damage during transit. For roadworthy vehicles in good condition, RoRo shipping is a more cost-effective alternative that also ensures safe transport.
Regardless of the chosen transport method, your vehicle is fully insured throughout the entire transport. We work exclusively with renowned shipping companies and continuously monitor the transport status. This way, you always know where your classic car is located and can track the progress of your shipment. For questions, we are directly available by phone or WhatsApp.
Bringing Rare Vehicles from Canada into Your Collection
Canada offers an impressive selection of classic vehicles that are rarely found in Europe. American muscle cars, Canadian special edition Pontiacs, or well-preserved pickup trucks from the 1950s to 1970s are waiting to be discovered by collectors and enthusiasts. Importing classic cars from Canada gives you access to this fascinating market with its often rust-free barn finds.
Many Canadian vehicles in the dry prairie provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba were hardly exposed to the aggressive road salt that often severely damaged European classics. These vehicles are frequently in a state of preservation that significantly reduces restoration costs or even allows registration in their original condition. Similar to classic car imports from the USA, you benefit from the wide selection and often lower prices in North America.
We can also assist you with vehicle search and on-site inspection through our partner network in Canada, if desired. This ensures that the vehicle meets your expectations before you finalize the purchase. Our escrow service offers additional security for transactions with Canadian sellers.
