Container Shipping Is Best for Most Cars to Lithuania

For standard cars, SUVs, and motorcycles shipping to Klaipėda, container shipping is usually the preferred option. It provides full enclosure and more protection during ocean transit, with consolidated and dedicated container options depending on your budget and timeline.

Oversized Vehicle Shipping to Lithuania: Best Options for Heavy Machinery

RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) is often the simplest solution for oversized vehicles, commercial trucks, and heavy machinery that can be safely driven onto the vessel. When RoRo isn’t available or isn’t the right fit, we can also quote container and other freight options based on your equipment size and route into Klaipėda, Lithuania.

If you’re shipping a large unit from the USA to Lithuania, our team can quote it quickly once we have the make/model (or dimensions), weight, and pickup ZIP code.

RoRo is ideal for:

  • Heavy machinery (excavators, loaders, tractors)
  • Oversized vehicles and commercial trucks
  • Units that can be driven onto the vessel

Car Import Process in Lithuania

Shipping Cost & Duties:


Shipping your car from the United States to Lithuania starts with US export documents, which our team prepares, and ends with Lithuanian import clearance by your customs agent in Klaipėda.

Duty and VAT at the destination:

  • EU import duty on cars is 10%. Since July 1 2026 the EU allows 0% on US-origin cars (Regulation (EU) 2026/1455), but Lithuanian customs decides whether to grant it and ties it to proof of origin, which is usually available for new cars and rarely for a 30-year-old classic.
  • Original classics over 30 years old may enter as collectors' items under a separate rule.
    Your customs agent in Klaipėda confirms duty and VAT before the car sails.
