Importing vehicles from outside of EU
Detailed vehicle history with CARFAX
If you have your eye on a car from the US or Canada, we recommend requesting a CARFAX report before purchase. This document contains a detailed vehicle history and can protect you from a bad purchase and hidden defects. You can easily order a CARFAX report online or through us!
Conversion according to European requirements
n addition to technical inspections, we can handle the necessary technical modifications in our professional workshop. This includes changing the lighting, but we can also fit accessories such as (detachable) tow-bar, insurance-approved alarm system, and navigation systems. Conversion is quoted separately. Please consult your VDS Auto Import specialist for more information.
Aftermarket parts not allowed
Sometimes certain parts of the vehicle have been replaced with aftermarket parts. These may include headlights, exhaust systems, and shock absorbers. Since these parts do not have European approval, a vehicle with these parts cannot be admitted. Please be aware that it may be necessary to replace modified parts before the car can be inspected.
Do not overpay on taxes
VDS Auto Import always offers you the lowest BPM (vehicle tax) method. This means that we calculate the BPM using all accepted methods and select the most favorable calculation method for you. This way, you always pay the lowest possible remaining BPM amount. If desired, we can also handle the BPM declaration based on an appraisal by a certified appraiser.
