Shipping a vehicle from Canada to Europe can be fairly easily to extremely complex, depending on which country in Europe you are shipping your vehicle to, as each country has its own rules and regulations for importing a vehicle. Getting the right Customs broker and shipping company are two crucial choices that will assure a seamless shipping process; it will also guarantee that you meet the destination country's local rules and regulations concerning the specifications on your automobile. Research and preparation should be on your to-do list before exporting your car to Europe.
