Gothenburg offers frequent container and RoRo departures, fast customs processing, and reliable rail and truck connections for onward delivery across Sweden.

For shipments between Sweden and the USA, we load vehicles into containers at our US warehouses or arrange transport from your seller in Sweden to the port. Our team oversees export paperwork, customs clearance, and coordination with trusted partners so your car moves smoothly through Gothenburg.

If you need assistance with port pickup, customs support, or local delivery at either end, we can coordinate the full process for a smooth arrival in the USA or return shipment back to Sweden.

RoRo Shipping from the USA to Sweden: Best for Oversized Vehicles & Heavy Machinery

RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) shipping from the USA to Sweden is designed specifically for oversized vehicles, commercial trucks, and heavy machinery that can be safely driven or towed onto the vessel.

If you’re moving a large or heavy vehicle from the USA to Sweden, our RoRo shipping calculator and dedicated RoRo services page provide fast, accurate quotes tailored to your equipment size, weight, and loading needs.

RoRo to Sweden is ideal for:

Heavy machinery (excavators, loaders, cranes, tractors)

Units that can be driven or towed onto the vessel

Documentation Required to Ship Cars from the USA to Sweden

Car Import Process from USA to Sweden

Shipping your car from the USA to Sweden is a streamlined process when each step of the Sweden car import process is handled by one team. Whether you’re shipping classic cars, luxury vehicles, electric cars, or project vehicles, our door-to-door international car shipping service covers US export, ocean transport, and Swedish import clearance.

Because Sweden applies import duties and VAT on most vehicles, some shippers route cars through other EU ports before transporting them to Sweden. However, if you qualify for classic-car exemptions, temporary import, or duty-free relocation, Sweden remains an excellent destination for importing cars from the USA.

Key Benefits of Our Sweden Car Shipping Process:

Door-to-door vehicle transport from any US location

Secure vehicle transport at both the origin and destination
Special handling for classic, luxury, and electric cars

Registering Your Car in Sweden

After shipping your car from the USA to Sweden, the final step is registering your imported car in Sweden so you can legally drive it. Swedish import regulations focus on emissions, safety, and taxes, so your vehicle must clear all checks before it can be issued Swedish plates.

Essential documentation for registering a US car in Sweden:

Foreign registration certificate and proof of ownership
Customs duty and VAT payment records
Swedish Transport Agency approval (Trafikverket)
Vehicle approval certificates (safety & environmental compliance)
Original bill of sale and shipping documents
Import declaration form

Classic Car Exemptions:

If your car is over 30 years old, unmodified, and no longer in production, you may qualify for classic-car status in Sweden, which can mean a reduced VAT rate (often 12%) and a simplified registration process. Our team and partners in Sweden can help you understand which rules apply to your specific vehicle before you begin the registration process.
