    Customs declarant services in Lithuania

    Cars arriving in Lithuania from the US are subject to specific requirements due to discrepancies in design and technical parameters. The EU has slightly different requirements, which are the same as the laws in force in Lithuania. Cars made here comply with EC (European Community) technical directives and can be registered without major problems. When a car arrives in a European country from the USA, it is subject to additional checks to make sure it meets the requirements and will be safe on the road.

    The biggest problems are usually caused by the headlights. Not only do they vary in colour, but also in positioning and the area illuminated. To pass the technical inspection, the headlights must be replaced with European counterparts. We suggest that you have your vehicle inspected before you register your US car. This way you will know what needs to be replaced and you will not have to deal with any extra hassle during the inspection.

    When the car arrives in Lithuania (Klaipeda port), you need to sort out all the necessary paperwork right away. The sooner the better. We offer you to familiarize yourself with the documents that often accompany vehicles.

    • Lemon title. This indicates that the vehicle is not of high quality and often breaks down even during the warranty period. This document is suitable for registration in Lithuania.
    • Rebuilt (reconstructed) title. This document indicates that the car has already been repaired after an accident. It is suitable for registration in Lithuania.
    • Junk title. This title is granted when the car is badly damaged and has lost more than 75% of its value. It is not eligible for registration in Lithuania.
    • Certificate of destruction. This is a document issued by an insurance company for the inoperability of the car. In Lithuania, this document is not eligible for registration.
